Best High-Performance Tooling Manufacturer 2019: Kyocera SGS Precision Tools Europe Ltd

Boasting more than 66 years’ experience in the high-performance tool market, KYOCERA SGS Precision Tools (KSPTE) manufactures industry leading solid carbide cutting tools. We profile the firm, which won one of this year’s coveted UK Enterprise Awards for its dedication to quality and precision.

Since its inception in 1952 KSPTE has flourished, and today, the European manufacturer focuses on special cutting tools, tool modifications and regrinds.

Alongside this focus the firm also offers a range of high-performance end mills, routers and drills in its catalogue. As a result of its vast product offering, the firm supplies clients across the aerospace, medical, power generation, and motorsports markets. As testimony to the level of excellence it provides, the firm’s extensive client base includes internationally renowned companies such as Rolls Royce.

Thanks to its vast industry experience, KSPTE offers its clients unique solutions and support, including helping them to solve difficult project challenges in their markets. The firm’s expert team explore their customers goals and work with them to reduce set up times and machining cycle times, improve quality and process reliability through the design and manufacture of specialised tools.

It is this focus on being a solutions provider rather than just providing high-quality tools that sets KSPTE apart from its competitors and marks it out as the best possible option for its varied clients. The firm does more than just produce tools; it employs a highly skilled technical sales team, who often think of completely different ways of giving the customer what they need rather than just using catalogue off the shelf products. They even go as far as developing new concept and geometries to ensure that whatever their need may be, a client can find a solution when they work with this innovative and dynamic manufacturer.

In 2016, Kyocera merged with SGS Precision Tools. The merger has ultimately been a huge success between two successful companies sharing the same focus on client service.  Kyocera now gives us the platform to continue to grow with the additional leverage of a hugely successful multi-national.

Looking to the future, KSPTE will remain very committed to providing its clients with exceptional quality high-performance tools that will meet their needs and exceed their expectations.
