Who we are

A strategic partner, not one more supplier

With more than 18 years in cutting tool management in Brazil and over 40 years worldwide, Kromi stands out as an exclusive service provider, operating independently of any tool manufacturer. That makes us a strategic partner for our clients and a real opportunity in the metalworking market.

We are present in the automotive, aerospace, agricultural, oil and gas and general machining sectors, with a high approval rate and a consistent track record of cost reduction through our partnerships.

To keep pace with industrial digitalisation, we offer Industry 4.0 solutions, including our own software for consumption tracking and real-time tool cost control.
