PR Newswire (US)
BELOIT, Wis., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- REGAL-BELOIT
CORPORATION (NYSE:RBC) today announced the completion of the sale
of substantially all of the assets of the Company's Regal Cutting
Tools business to YG-1 Co., Ltd. "This is a very positive move for
the Regal Cutting Tools business as it will be aligned with a world
leading manufacturer and marketer of high speed and carbide rotary
cutting tools," said Henry W. Knueppel, Chairman and CEO of
REGAL-BELOIT. "As we moved aggressively into motion control
systems, electric motors and power generation over the past several
years, the cutting tools business was no longer a strategic focus
for us. The sale will allow Regal Cutting Tools, the largest
special tap manufacturer in the United States, to lend its quick
delivery model to over 70 countries where YG-1 markets their
products. We are pleased that a global, cutting tool focused
company has purchased the business and that we were able to agree
to a structure that should benefit the employees, the community and
the respective businesses." The sale of the business will reduce
REGAL-BELOIT'S sales by approximately $17 million on an annual
basis and will be neutral to earnings. The terms of the sale were
not disclosed. REGAL-BELOIT CORPORATION is a leading manufacturer
of mechanical and electrical motion control and power generation
products serving markets throughout the world. REGAL-BELOIT is
headquartered in Beloit, Wisconsin, and has global manufacturing,
sales, and service facilities. YG-1, based in Incheon City, Korea,
manufactures a wide array of metal cutting tools including end
mills, taps, drills and other tooling in high speed steel and
carbide. YG-1 is one of the world's largest end mill manufacturers
and markets products in 70 nations around the world. The company
was founded in 1981 and has grown to over $100 million in annual
sales with facilities in Asia, Europe, Australia and the United
States. YG-1 is ISO 9001/14001 certified. YG-1's website can be
