Carbide tools Ltd., Silverdale

Carbide Tools Ltd is more than just a company, it’s the culmination of a family’s dedication to innovation and quality.
Our story began in 1997 when Vanessa and Paul, instead of going on their honeymoon, invested in their dream by purchasing a machine and setting it up in their garage. From humble beginnings, they grew their first business to a thriving operation with 25 staff and customers spanning the globe. In 2016, Paul identified a gap in New Zealand’s market for tungsten carbide cutting tools. Determined to bring their expertise to new heights, the family relocated to New Zealand and founded Carbide Tools Ltd in 2018.
Today, we proudly stand as the most experienced custom tungsten carbide cutting tool manufacturer in the country, blending over 38 years of industry experience with state-of-the-art CNC grinding technology. We are driven by the same passion that started in that garage. From standard tools to bespoke solutions, we provide unmatched quality and service, always staying true to our roots as a customer-focused, family-driven business.
