Formtech Tooling & Design Ltd. – Blog

A little bit about us…

In 1988, Donie Bredin began creating specialist cutting tools even though initiatially starting as a drill regrind service in Galway, Ireland. This company would be called Formtech Tooling and Design Ltd. and we would grow both locally and nationally as a highly respected precision tooling and tool designing business. Forteen years later, Tom and Anne Creaven would purchase to company to continue the legacy. Tom has over 30 years of experience in the engineering sector and would help drive the company further serving customers across not only Ireland, but in the UK, China and the United States. Over the years we have gained a great deal of expertise in CNC Turning and Milling, EDM CNC Wiring and Drilling, EDM Solid Sinking and wide array of other grinding specialties.
