The toolmaking industry in Estonia has a long history, dating back to 1912.
Toolmaking is a business area that is presently considered highly developed in Estonia. The companies in the market are small, yet specialized and focused on high-quality products. The sector is mostly dominated by local enterprises. However, foreign investors can also be found.
Some examples of the products of Estonian toolmaking companies: injection molds, high precision tungsten carbide dies, plastic molds, blowing molds etc.
Estonian toolmaking companies subcontract for the automotive industry, electronics, the medical industry, telecommunications and many other industries. Some more widely known export markets for the toolmaking sector are Sweden, Finland, Germany and Denmark.
In 1992 the Estonian Special Tooling Association (ESTA) was established as a subsidiary organization within the Federation of Estonian Engineering Industry. The association is a voluntary alliance for solving common problems of the special tooling industry. Today, clear steps are being taken towards formulation of an informal cluster of manufacturing in the toolmaking sector. The cluster works in cooperation with the Federation of Estonian Engineering Industry, and it helps to allocate and use resources, as well as knowledge, in a more efficient way.
