About Us

Who are Rapid Tooling?

Rapid Tooling Solutions are a specialist tooling distributor. Our primary focus is to work with organisations to deliver results that increase productivity, reduce costs and help to develop innovative ways of working. 

We pair over 50 years of experience in the industry, competitive prices and excellent customer service. This synergy has allowed us to develop a forward-thinking business to solve 99.9% of our clients' problems. With over 1000 products in stock from global brands, we can build bespoke solutions tailored to every customer's requirements. 

From our head office in Gateshead, we have developed professional relationships with some of the North East's leading manufacturers, including clients in the Automotive, Aerospace, Defence and Oil & Gas sectors. 

We have a firm belief that offering a more personal approach allows us to provide superior technical support to our customers and become more of an extension to their production teams rather than just a tool distributor. This method of working consistently delivers process vs price excellence on every project.
