About Us

Major Stockist

ALCA TOOLS LTD. began trading in July 1974, supplying local engineers with cutting tools and other workshop consumables. Over the years, our business has grown along with our customers and we now have access to more than 500,000 products which we can supply to clients in Kent and around the UK. We have become a major stockist for cutting tools including carbide inserts, drills, taps, and milling tools. These are available in a range of standard, high performance and specialist tooling. Our stocks are one of the best in Kent and the range of products has increased to incorporate almost any product, consumable or otherwise for sub-contract engineers, tool rooms, fabricators, maintenance workshops, production shops and assembly lines.

Long Established Partnerships

We pride ourselves on the service and support we provide to our customers. The reputation we have built over the years has been the key ingredient that has forged strong relationships with customers and suppliers. This makes for a very strong supply chain, something which is crucial in the ever changing business where the latest equipment and tooling can reduce your production and cycle times, saving you money.

To our customers we have become a “One Stop Shop” where you can purchase fasteners, hand tools, adhesives, abrasives, machinery, lubricants, hand cleaners, and more.
