What CTC does
CTC Praezision Tools Pvt Ltd is a precision carbide cutting tools manufacturer operating as the flagship manufacturing arm of the CTC Group. The company produces drills, end mills, burrs, routers, form tools, reamers, engravers, grooving tools, threading tools, and deburring tools ranging from Ø 0.03 mm to 40 mm in diameter, manufactured on 250+ Swiss CNC grinding machines and finished with PVD, CVD, and diamond coating technologies across five facilities in India (Jamshedpur, two sites), Germany (Schwäbisch Gmünd, Weingarten), and Singapore. The Singapore facility (ATS) achieves ±0.001 mm tolerance, and GCT GmbH in Weingarten is described as the world's largest diamond-coating facility within a cutting-tool manufacturing group.
The company serves industrial OEMs across more than a dozen sectors including aerospace, automotive, PCB, semiconductors, 3C smart devices, dental and medical, die-mould, beauty/personal care, energy, watchmaking, and jewellery. CTC's portfolio draws on 40+ years of manufacturing heritage from CTC India (founded 1983) and three acquired brands retained within the Group: Kemmer Präzision (Germany, 70+ years expertise), Alignment Tool Singapore (30+ years expertise in PCD tooling), and GCT GmbH (Germany, 25+ years expertise in diamond coating). CTC Praezision Tools itself was incorporated in 2021 as the flagship manufacturing entity of the CTC Group.
Revenue is generated primarily through direct enterprise sales to OEMs and a channel partner network spanning 18+ countries (India, China, Singapore, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Romania, USA, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Israel), with quote-based engagement for both standard catalogue and custom-engineered tooling solutions. Annual production capacity exceeds 20 million cutting tools across the Group, supported by 600+ employees and active participation in major industry exhibitions including IMTEX, AMB, SteelFab, and EMO.
