What Micor AB does

Micor Tooling, legally Micor AB, is a Swedish B2B industrial manufacturer of engineered cutting tools operating as a division of LSAB. The company produces a complete line of circular saw blades, band saw blades, planing tools, moulders, polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools, knives, and system components for industrial wood processing and sawmill operations. Manufacturing is anchored at four production sites — all powered by 100% renewable energy — under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, and the company offers a multi-brand portfolio including Micor Tooling, Langshyttan (featuring the GreenCut sustainability line), HDS Sawmill Tools, BBM, and LTT.

The company claims 175+ years of combined industry experience and serves more than 2,000 customers across 40+ markets globally, with multilingual sales support in English, French, German, and Spanish. Recent strategic activity has centered on inorganic expansion (the December 2024 acquisition of HDS Group GmbH) and sustainability-led product innovation (the May 2024 launch of the Langshyttan GreenCut band saw blade and the 2024 introduction of next-generation Double Arbour Blades).

Revenue is generated through direct hardware sales of cutting tools and replacement components to industrial buyers — primarily saw mills and wood-product manufacturers — distributed via an internal direct sales organization reachable through phone (+46 (0) 430 492 00) and email ([email protected]). Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no subscription, licensing, or recurring service revenue model is evident from the data.

Direct peers

• AKE Knebel: German manufacturer of industrial saw blades, hogging cutters, and diamond (PCD) tools for the wood and panel industry. Closely overlaps with Micor's circular saw and PCD moulder product lines serving sawmill customers.
• Leuco (Ledermann Group): German-based manufacturer of precision cutting tools for the wood processing industry, including circular saw blades, PCD tools, and CNC tooling. Direct competitor to Micor's core product line of saw blades, planing tools, and PCD tools for industrial wood processing.
• Leitz: Family-owned German manufacturer of tooling systems for the wood processing industry, covering saw blades, profiling tools, and knives. Highly comparable to Micor's moulder/PCD and saw blade offering for sawmill and panel-processing customers.
• Michael Weinig Group: German manufacturer of solid wood processing machinery and tooling (moulders, profilers). While primarily a machine OEM, Weinig's tooling business and sawmill customer base overlap directly with Micor's moulder and planing tool portfolio.
• Ledinek: Slovenian producer of engineered wood processing lines and tooling, serving glulam, CLT, and sawmill customers. Comparable to Micor in serving sawmill and engineered-wood customers with cutting tools and process know-how.
• Freud (diablo / Freud Tools): Italy-headquartered industrial cutting tool producer (now part of the Bosch group) with a wide range of circular saw blades, router bits, and PCD tools. Direct peer in circular saw blades and industrial cutting tools, though with a much broader global retail footprint than Micor.
• Dimar (DIMAR Tooling): Israeli industrial cutting tool manufacturer producing circular saw blades, TCT tools, and PCD tooling for wood, metal, and plastics. Comparable to Micor in saw blade technology and export-driven business across 40+ markets.

Broad incumbents

• Homag Group: Global leading machinery manufacturer for the woodworking industry (CNC, edge banding, sawing). Overlaps with Micor in supplying tooling and cutting consumables into the same wood-processing customer base, though Homag's core is capital equipment rather than blades.
• Robert Bosch (Professional Power Tools & Accessories): Diversified industrial conglomerate with a Bosch Professional accessories range that includes industrial circular saw blades. A broad incumbent rather than a focused direct peer, but increasingly competing at the industrial-saw-blade price/performance tier.

Emerging players

• Sandvik (Sandvik Coromant): World leader in metal-cutting tooling with an emerging portfolio in advanced materials and PCD technology. Relevant emerging peer as Sandvik extends its PCD/diamond expertise from metals into wood and composites, where Micor competes.
