Originally a subsidiary of a US company, Olympia Tools UK was established in 1994 and now operates as an independent company, as part of the Dormole Group.
Olympia Tools UK operates from our head office and showroom in Reading, plus a 184,000 ft2 state-of-the-art distribution centre based in Wednesbury, West Midlands, equal to the length of 2 football pitches, with 30,000 pallet locations and 10 dock levellers. We offer a range of high quality, innovative hand tools designed to help the user work smarter, faster and safer.
We have grown to become a major European, trade only distributor of hand tools and workwear which now offers quite literally hundreds of products under a variety of brand names. We owe our success to a number of different factors with one of the most crucial being our unrelenting focus on innovation.
Whilst we acknowledge that the fundamental design of many hand tools has been proven over decades or even centuries, we also recognise that opportunities for enhancement and improvement can and still do exist.
