Our companies

PX Tools has been offering hard metal machining solutions for shaped, standard and threading tools since 1952. The company, which has been part of the PX Group since 1990, is able to adapt to meet the specific needs of its customers, both in terms of the requisite complexity and quality of its tools.

The company offers its services and products mainly to high-tech industries: watchmaking, jewelry, medical, aerospace and high-precision industries. Our responsiveness and technical support enable us to produce a wide range of complex tools – features that are much appreciated by our customers.

PX Tools is active in sustainable development projects, and works with its watchmaking and jewellery partners to recycle the raw materials used in its tools, such as carbide. The material can thus be reintroduced into the tool manufacturing process to follow a completely new life cycle.
