درباره سازنده
Somta Tools was founded in 1954 by Samuel Osborn Ltd of Sheffield, England. The name Somta is an acronym derived from the names of Samuel Osborn (founder of Osborn Steels U.K.), and Robert Mushet (the 19th century inventor of High Speed Steel).
The full name being Samuel Osborn Mushet Tools Africa.
Original Products: Somta started out producing Twist Drills, Reamers, Toolbits and Chisels with a complement of about 20 employees.
A First: One of Somta’s claims to fame is that its former parent company produced the first Twist Drill made from High Speed Steel. Prior to 1870, twist drills were made from a flat piece of steel and then physically twisted,hence the name. Thereafter the flutes were produced on milling machines until the grinding method arrived.
Somta Tools specialises in the design and manufacture of standard and custom tools for the industrial and “do it yourself” markets. Product categories can be summarised as drills, cutters, reamers, threading tools and toolbits, which are made in a wide range of sizes, using various materials (HSS and Solid Carbide) and Balzers PVD surface coatings to extend wear life.
The factory in Pietermaritzburg manufactures 7 000 standard items and a further 3 000 made-to-order items to serve local markets and export markets in over 70 countries worldwide. From humble beginnings in 1954 with 20 employees, Somta has grown into one of the largest cutting tool manufacturers in the southern hemisphere, operating from offices and modern manufacturing facilities laid out over 3 hectares with a complement of over 400 employees.
The company’s vision of “To manufacture and supply superior cutting tools, driven by a culture of service excellence, to global and domestic markets” is supported by ISO 9002 which was achieved in 1991 and ISO 9001 in 2003 and 2008.
