Capital Tool Industries (CTI) has manufactured precision gear-cutting tools since 1966. We serve global OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers across automotive, aerospace, power transmission and heavy machinery with high-precision gear hobs, shaper cutters, power-skiving cutters and specialised finishing tools. Our engineering-first approach combines legacy craftsmanship with modern manufacturing to deliver repeatable accuracy, long tool life and measurable productivity gains.

In recent years CTI has accelerated its international growth through strategic acquisitions — extending our product range, deepening technical expertise and improving customer proximity in Europe. In March 2023 we acquired Belgium-based Mico Tools (Mishalle NV), enhancing our power-skiving and gear-shaper capability.  ￼ In September 2025 we completed the acquisition of Acedes Gear Tools (UK), further strengthening CTI’s European footprint and advanced tooling portfolio.  ￼

CTI today offers:
	•	Complete portfolio of gear-cutting solutions (hobs, shaper cutters, skiving cutters, chamfer and finishing tools).  ￼
	•	Local sales & support in Europe through integrated teams and retained local customer service.  ￼
	•	Global manufacturing with centralized quality systems and investments in process automation to ensure consistent delivery for export customers.

Our vision: combine global scale with specialist tooling know-how so customers can produce quieter, stronger and more efficient gearsets — faster and at lower cost.
