The company has deep roots and a rich history in the tool manufacturing world; we were founded by Rakesh Aghi in 1989 who is still our CEO and the guiding influence in all we do. Mr. Aghi started the company in the late 80’s as a distributor dealing in high speed tools from overseas and selling to catalog houses. He had operations in Singapore, Germany, and India in addition to our U.S. based operations

As the industry changed so did we, in 1998 we purchased ICCT (International Carbide Cutting Tools) in Chicago, IL and began manufacturing high speed and carbon tools.
