DIXI-POLYTOOL GMBH

In 1946, the company PAQSA, a VHM tool manufacturer, was acquired and integrated into DIXI 1. Due to its positive development, this department became the DIXI 4 plant and has since been exporting throughout Europe. Starting in 1957, DIXI opened the market to Asia, thereby consolidating its leading position. In 1968, the German subsidiary was established, featuring a regrinding department as well as a small division for the production of monocrystalline diamond tools. In 2004, DIXI Polytool acquired a majority stake in the German diamond tool manufacturer "Diamant Werkzeug GmbH". DIXI completed this acquisition in 2008. In 2008, DIXI Polytool also consolidated its niche strategy with the acquisition of the French mold tool manufacturer "Méca-Carbure". Optimal products - additions were thus realized. A dedicated plant, which is still the headquarters of the parent company today, was built in two phases (1967 and 1971). During the 1970s, DIXI acquired its first CNC production machines. At the beginning of the 1990s, the computerization of DIXI and its subsidiaries took place, and the machine park was multiplied by 25. The strong commitment to quality was rewarded with the attainment of the SQS certification in 1994. This was, of course, a significant advantage for the sales network. Since the 1990s, expansion has progressed at an increasing pace, and various companies were acquired: DIXI Frama in 1992, Polytool in 1999, and DIXI UK in 2000. The last acquisition in 2004 involved the German DIAWE (Diamant Werkzeuge) and allowed for a product expansion. In 2005, DIXI Outils S.A. was renamed to DIXI Polytool S.A.
