About Inovatools
Inovatools Eckerle & Ertel GmbH is a manufacturer of precision tools for machining technology headquartered in Kinding-Haunstetten, Bavaria. The company was founded in 1990 for tool manufacturing in Beilngries and established in 1992 at its current headquarters. The product portfolio comprises specialised solid carbide tools: high-performance, trochoidal and HSC cutters, special cutters and saw blades, drills up to deep-hole drills, reamers, countersinks as well as machine taps, thread formers and thread mills – as standard and customised special tools with express service (delivery time 1 week). In addition to tool manufacturing, the company offers resharpening of VHM, HSS and PM tools from all manufacturers, cylindrical grinding of precision parts (distance between centres 1000 mm, workpiece diameter max. 350 mm, all steel grades including hardened, from small to large series), tool coating, cutting edge preparation, high-gloss finishing as well as private labelling. With the WIDIA range, more than 40,000 articles for turning, milling and drilling are also offered. Customers come from the automotive industry, aerospace, mechanical engineering and dental technology. The company operates production and sales sites in Germany (Kinding-Haunstetten, Weimar-Legefeld), Italy (Modena), Portugal (Marinha Grande, tool grinding shop) and Austria (Mieming) as well as a sales and partner network in over 40 industrialised countries.
