On April 16, 2020, the machine tool community lost an irreplaceable member with the passing of Fritz Althoff at the age of 86.
Althoff was a toolmaker by trade and he parlayed this skill into a successful career in machine tool sales. He retired from Ferro Technique, Mississauga, Ont., in 2015 after a 35-year career.
Known as a consummate professional, he was respected by all the customers, suppliers, and competitors that he worked with throughout his career. To sum up how everyone felt about him, a former customer said, “Fritz was certainly the classiest of all machine tool salesmen I've come across.”
