To provide even more specialization

January 2012

Conceptools, the Swiss company located in Le Locle, announces the creation of a new company on January first 2012: Innotols. Its goal covers design, implementation, manufacture and sale of tungsten carbide (MD), high speed steel (HSS) and cubic boron nitride (CBN) cutting tool. Conceptools focuses on polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and natural diamond (MCD) tools.

The companies’ flags show clear filiation. This will allow Innotools to benefit from the reputation of quality and serious earned by Conceptools; but the two companies can focus on their core businesses.

"One of our strengths is to offer tools that meet very finely the needs of our customers, we offer answers for quantities of niches" says Mr. Millet the director. And who says niche, means specialization and it is the reason for the new entity. The Director adds: "With Conceptools and Innotools, we will allow each specialist to remain focused on its activity".

What will change for customers? First, the only visible change for customers will be separated billings for the two companies, but the offers of the two structures will continue to expand and differentiate. Apart from the creation of this new entity, the company unveils more than 30 new products just for the 2012 catalog. Mr. Millet says: "It is an important investment for Conceptools, both in terms of means and efforts, but it is worth, we will be able to serve our customers even more effectively".

A few novelties for 2012

With its birth, Innotools unveils a range of carbide end mills with maximum diameters passing from Ø3 to Ø12 mm with several cutting lengths!
In the dental field, the company also presents a significantly broader range dedicated to prosthetists. With regard to natural diamond, Conceptools
has also greatly expanded its range of end mills and microend mills available from stock. A first in Switzerland!
A new range of standard and disposable PCD inserts is unveiled.
A new range of PCD millers: "Eco" is proposed at very aggressive prices.

We will come back on Conceptools and Innotools novelties soon.
