Press release: JR-Tools Ltd to resell FMT Tooling System high-precision tools on the Finnish market


JR-Tools Ltd, a manufacturer of special metal cutting tools for metal industry, has begun cooperation with Portuguese Frezite Group to resell FMT Tooling Systems high-precision tools on the Finnish market. The product selection includes high-precision special tools with inserts and brazed tips.

JR-Tools is expanding its special tools selection by launching a new cooperation. “FMT contacted us and suggested a cooperation. They wanted to find a company with knowledge in special tools and of the Finnish tooling market. For us, this is a great opportunity because we did not have this type of special tools in our product portfolio yet”, says CEO of JR-Tools Pasi Rönn. “FMT is very happy to start this cooperation and we feel that JR-Tools have a strong enough brand and team to develop and resell the FMT products on the Finnish market”, says Valter Mesquita who is responsible for FMT export sales on the European market.

FMT Tooling Systems special tools are available with brazed PCD, CBN and carbide tips and inserts. The tools are designed for high-precision machining. In addition to FMT special tools, JR-Tools is also a reseller of Gleason gear cutting and clamping tools, Tyrolit grinding wheels, Unior Components broaching tools and MegaTec inserts. 

Last year, JR-Tools’ turnover increased by nearly 20% and was around 2.4 million euros. The company plans to continue on the growth path and finding new high-quality products for resale is a key factor in reaching this goal. “When it comes to resale, we aim to expand our product portfolio in a way that allows us to offer both the high-quality products and optimised solutions that meet the client’s individual needs. Our goal is to always help the client to improve their processes. We also organise tool trainings for our clients”, says Veli-Matti Uusitalo, Sales Director of JR-Tools.
