Specialist UK Tool Steel Supplier

Tool steels touch so many aspects of life today, being the hidden heroes behind many of the products that we use on a daily basis, whether they have been extruded, punched, formed or drawn. For manufacturers, tool life is critical to economic production, so the performance of the tool steel in terms of toughness, hardness, strength, stability etc is fundamental.

AKM has over 30 years experience in tool steel and we are proud to be the exclusive UK agent for the German steel producer Dörrenberg Edelstahl. This gives us unrivaled access to their immediate extensive quality stockholding and expert technical knowledge.

High Quality Tool Steel

Over the years metallurgists have developed more exacting steels, to perform in specific working conditions of temperature, pressure, speed etc. Our supplier Dörrenberg is renowned for their commitment and ability to product innovation and so they have developed a range of “next generation special steels” that lead the market.
