What Intool does
Intool AG is a Swiss industrial tools distributor headquartered in Steinhausen, canton of Zug, operating as a subsidiary of JEBCO Holding AG. The company runs a login-gated e-commerce catalog offering 1,253+ SKUs across 13 product categories spanning clamping technology for milling and turning, tool presetting devices, tool holders (HSK, SK, BT, polygon shanks per DIN/ISO standards; Eppinger Preci-Flex, VDI DIN 69880), shrinking technology (Bilz horizontal and vertical stations), precision collets (ER, F-type, Rubber-Flex), cutting tools (Wohlhaupter MultiBore, H.Bilz boring bars), and a full assembly/screwdriving line (Desoutter, Kolver, Chicago Pneumatic, n-gineric torque measurement, Wekador bits). The platform is bilingual (German and French) and serves Swiss industrial manufacturers.
The business model is multi-brand industrial distribution rather than proprietary manufacturing. Intool resells products from 12+ established industrial tooling brands — HWR (clamping), Eppinger (modular turning holders), Bilz (shrink technology), Wohlhaupter (boring), H.Bilz (back-boring bars), Desoutter (battery/electric/pneumatic screwdrivers), Kolver (electric screwdrivers), Chicago Pneumatic (pneumatic tools), ATORN (tool presetting), n-gineric (torque/angle sensors), and Wekador (bits). Revenue is generated through one-time sales of physical tooling products, with pricing only visible after customer login and registration, indicating an account-based B2B sales motion targeting industrial buyers rather than transactional e-commerce.
Go-to-market is regional field sales targeting Swiss industrial manufacturers — CNC machine shops, tool rooms, and production facilities requiring precision clamping, tool holding, cutting, and assembly equipment. The company uses LinkedIn for B2B advertising and Google Analytics for web traffic analysis, alongside its primary digital catalog channel. No revenue, headcount, or growth metrics are disclosed in the available data, and the company operates without disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, or external funding rounds.
