Leitz Tooling Wins Precision Tools Specialist of the Year!
As they celebrate their 150 year anniversary, Leitz Tooling
UK Ltd has been awarded Precision Tools Specialist of the Year by Corporate
LiveWire for 2026 thanks to their constant research, development and commitment
to sustainable values and practises. This prestigious win marks the third year
in a row that the company has claimed the top spot, cementing its reputation as
an industry titan in the manufacturing and engineering sectors.
The Corporate LiveWire Global Awards recognise companies
that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and a commitment to setting new
standards within their respective industries. For Leitz, the hat trick victory
serves as a powerful validation of its long term vision.
Innovation Through Research & Development
A big focus
for Leitz over the last few years has been growing costs for their customers.
Leitz have been redesigning key products form across their tooling range, such
as the WhisperCut PLUS milling cutterhead, to be more economical. These designs
include an extended resharpening area for extended tool life and an increased
number of sharpens.
For CNC
machining, Leitz UK has developed new
router cutters specifically for the UK market. Designed to combat lower
material quality through innovative designs and special carbide grades, these
cutters offer exceptional performance for mixed material machining. Ideal for
smaller businesses that require flexibility to compete.
A Future Focused Commitment to Sustainability
Beyond technical precision, Leitz’s victory was bolstered by
its industry leading sustainability initiatives. As global carbide prices soar,
many companies are taking advantage of the Leitz Tool Recycling programme. Leitz
collects and purchases used and damaged solid carbide tools back from customers
and sends these to their own carbide factory where 95% of material is
repurposed into new cutting materials after processing and refinement of the
tungsten carbide.
Leitz also runs a global WeCare sustainability campaign that kicks off in April every year. This initiative saw 154 realised projects in 2025. Since the campaign launch in 2021, it has seen over 17,000 tress planted, 14 tonnes of waste remove from the environment and 14,000 volunteered hours across 38 countries.
