Holemaker Technology Information

At HMT, we solve one of the most overlooked but critical challenges in metalworking: the difficulty of creating and modifying connection holes in metal components - especially during fabrication, installation, or maintenance when working in-situ. For many years, portable drilling applications had relied on traditional methods that are slow, unsafe & expensive. Now, that has all changed. *** Holemaker Technology was founded in 2014 by brothers Piers & Hugh Crane, building on a family heritage in welding and industrial supplies. That background gave us a practical understanding of the challenges faced every day in the metalworking industry. From those real-world experiences came a simple idea: to create tooling solutions that didn’t yet exist — but that professionals were clearly asking for. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to bring fresh innovation to cutting-tool design, developing systems that make metalworking faster, safer, and more efficient. Ever since those early days, we’ve focused entirely on one thing — delivering better ways to create holes in metal. That single-minded approach has made us specialists in our field and driven constant innovation across our product range. From a small start-up with only an idea and a clear goal, Holemaker Technology has redefined what’s possible in portable drilling. Over these 12 years, we've evolved into the market-leading brand for metalworkers, now trusted and sold in over 50 countries.
