Our history

​

During the seventies and early eighties, our primary business was heat treatment, a process in which metal is heated and cooled in a particular manner to improve its physical and mechanical properties. This enabled us to predetermine performance characteristics such as toughness, hardness, and wear-resistance.

This augmented our knowledge of metallurgical principles and facilitated the expansion into cold forming tooling.

We were first to be recognised by the fastener industry for our patented "MIL Tip" carbide tipped piercing punch. Then through customer demand and our reputation, we developed our product offering into a full range of cold forming tooling including carbide punches, die assemblies and ancillary tooling. Now, approximately 39 years later we are renowned throughout the Automotive and Construction industries as a world-class and well-respected manufacturer of high-performing hot and cold forming tooling.

Our primary objective of delivering superior quality non-standard tools with excellence in customer service ensures both the product and support we provide for our customers helps them achieve their objectives.
