As part of two acquisitions just days apart from each other, Bourn & Koch and Mollart Machinery became part of the InCompass™ portfolio in 2023. Through these acquisitions, Mollart Machinery operations and field service support, previously out of Chessington, United Kingdom, have transitioned to Bourn & Koch out of Rockford, IL USA. With full support from Mollart headquarters in Chessington readily available, we anticipate a smooth transition.
Mollart has been manufacturing Deep Hole Drilling machines for over three decades and designing them even longer. The product line includes gundrilling, BTA deep hole drilling machines, micro-drilling, multi-spindle pellet die drilling and more.
Bourn & Koch is known for manufacturing Blanchard Grinders, Gear Hobbers and Fellows Gear Shapers. With a focus on custom machine tool development and manufacturing, Bourn & Koch is well equipped to take on the manufacturing of Mollart Deep Hole Drilling machines. Along with the manufacturing of Mollart machinery, Bourn & Koch is prepared to service their existing machines already in the field.
Bourn & Koch began the process to transition production to their Rockford, Illinois plant at the beginning of 2024. With numerous orders already in their backlog for Mollart machine tools, they are quickly getting up to speed on the process of deep hole drilling. The Field Service team at Bourn & Koch has already assisted in numerous installations, both in the United States and in Europe.
With many of Mollart’s customers already located in North America, offering field service and support out of Rockford will cut down on service response time for customers located in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. International service will be provided by Bourn & Koch as well. Bourn & Koch Field Service Technicians are located throughout the US with many years of experience working on Bourn & Koch OEM machine tools. They have already begun working closely with Mollart’s team to learn about the new product lines to ensure smooth installations and field service.
