I am noticing that the tooling costs from Far Eastern suppliers is creeping up and making them less competitive and I am being told by my customers that they are getting cheaper prices in the the UK but cannot give me names.
So,I am looking for UK based toolmakers (not agents for overseas companies-these will just be binned) that can do a reasonable job for a reasonable price.
I would much rather spend the money with a UK based supplier,not possible in the recent past due to the customer demand for very low cost tooling.
Any potential supplier must be prepared to handle a lot of enquiries with a response time of 2 days max.
Looking forward to hearing from some genuine suppliers.All overseas offerings will be rejected-I got plenty of these already.

Hi Peter,

I know a lot of UK toolmaking companies out there, what type of tooling you looking for?

We make a whole range of products from a simple flat disc to complex unscrewing and technical mouldings.
Any personal recommendations would be welcome (PM me please).I could use good old Google but I am looking more for recommendations.
Thanks for replying I expected a torrent of offers as I am a potential buyer,but yours is the first!

Hi Nigel
Thanks for the contacts,some are already known to me.Would prefer toolmakers who are not moulders.

Hi, Peter,
Competitive Quality Moulds are manufactured and exported to Western Countries from India. If you like, I can suggest few to meet your requirements.

Not sure if any part of India or China is part of the UK anymore-I am only looking for UK BASED SUPPLIERS!!
