OUR MISSION

We passionately believe in building trust with our customers by delivering products and support that are personalized for every individual application. Our offer focuses on two key elements:

Simplicity. We provide a single source for round shank and indexable metal cutting products, backed up with easily accessible and knowledgeable support, making it simple for our customers to choose and use our tools.

Reliability. We are committed to providing reliable, high quality products, secure supplies and services designed to keep your operations running smoothly. Our reputation is earned by being uncomplicated, honest and consistent.

This is how we build trust with our customers: by keeping our promises so they can fulfil theirs. 

Our Story

Dormer Tools was established in Sheffield, England, originally as a product brand of The Sheffield Twist Drill & Steel Co. Meanwhile, Pramet Tools was founded in the former Czechoslovakia by starting production of sintered carbide in Sumperk.

Both companies were acquired by Sandvik – one of the world’s leading high technology engineering groups - in the 1990’s. The two businesses came together, along with North American brands Precision Twist Drill and Union Butterfield, to create Dormer Pramet. This culmination of brands provides one single, far-reaching offer covering round tools and indexables.

Our diverse product range has grown further following the acquisitions of Miranda Tools in India. This has allowed us to not only increase our assortment, but grow our extensive knowledge to help solve various engineering challenges across many industry sectors, including general machining, railway, metallurgy, airframe and assembly, die and mold, and maintenance, repair & overhaul.
