About Armeg.

Since 1973, Armeg has been designing and manufacturing performance quality power tool drilling accessories for professionals. In our time we’ve made real advances in drilling, and today innovation and quality remain at the heart of our business. It’s what makes our power tool accessories perform.

We’ve been designing and making for over 50 years, so our factory is home to real experience. Everything we make is the product not only of quality materials, or rigorous quality control, but true expertise, insight and knowledge. Over the years, we’ve created products that have revolutionised the way professionals work, such as the electrical box sinker, the world’s first square-hole drill. And it’s that sort of innovation that demonstrates the vision and focus for Armeg: to serve the professionals who rely on our products with a simple promise – to use our expertise to help them perform, always.

The company was formed

The company was formed in 1973 by two brothers, Andrew and Michael Green, who had been working locally within the industry. By bringing their initials together, the name ‘Armeg’ was born.

Armeg International

We embarked on exporting with Australia being our first international market.

A new Bosch licence

At the height of the 80’s we were granted the SDS Plus Hammer drill bit license by Bosch.

New beginnings

The company was bought out, going into the new millennium with a new management team, comprising of Mark Goodison and current sole MD, John Mowthorpe. The first square holes were drill when our installation innovation - Electrical Box Sinker was launched.

Solid Board Cutter

Solid Board Cutter was introduced which provides users with a simple and easy solution for drilling access holes in solid board flooring – no need for interjoist sawing.

In the history books

Tile drilling was changed forever when we revolutionised the market with the launch of ‘PTC’, the first ‘point & push’ carbide drill bit capable of drilling grade 5 porcelain tiles.

Made in Sheffield

We joined the prestigious ‘Made in Sheffield’ organization.

Acceler8% was born

Our popular Sheet Steel Holesaw was born providing fast, efficient drilling though sheet steel.

ISO 9001 accredited

Symbolising our dedication to continuous quality improvement, we became ISO 9001 accredited.

New managing director

Mark Goodison retired from the business leaving John Mowthorpe as sole Managing Director
and majority shareholder.

Roofing Bolt Driver

After snapping yet another flat head screwdriver during a roofing bolt installation back in 2019, John Mijalski decided enough was enough and embarked on a mission to find a solution to driving in roofing bolts. 3 years later after designing, patenting, and finding an exclusive manufacturing & distribution partner (that’s us!) the Impact Rated Roofing Bolt Driver was launched.

50 Years and The Brocket

We celebrated our 50th year of trading. The brocket tool is designed specifically for electrical conduit bush connectors and is perfect when working in tight / awkward areas thanks to its compact low profile. Adrian Journeaux, the founder and managing director of AJ Electrical services, came up with the concept when working on BMS electrical installations where the use of twin compartment trunking and lots of steel conduit is needed.

Twister Impact Masonry

Design-engineered for rapid installation of fixings, Twister Impact Masonry bits are available in 4.0 / 5.0 / 5.5 / 6.0 & 7.0mm diameters. ⁠
⁠
Each bit features a depth-stop section for an accurate drilling experience with every use. Furthermore, they are impact rated, perfect for use in an impact driver – swap bits not machines!⁠

Striving For Smarter

Our passion is for smarter products that push the boundaries of what is possible, to help professionals really perform. We want to innovate in a way that saves you time, money and effort, and rewards with precision and performance.

We are dedicated to innovative design and our R&D team is always strengthening our collection of ground-breaking product innovations.

The Team

At the heart of the business is our team, and our team approach has been integral to our growth. Across the business, we work together, designing and manufacturing Armeg’s tools and accessories under one roof. Sometimes we get the kind of project that reminds us why teamwork really matters, like the rapid turnaround requirement for 64 kilos of 2m-long SDS bespoke drill bits for delivery to Malta. It wouldn’t have been possible without the kind of expertise and team spirit that’s second nature to us.

Built in Quality

Quality is integral at every stage in the process, allowing us to provide the consistency our customers rely on. We ensure our products are manufactured and engineered to the highest standards using technically robust designs and the best appropriate materials. That’s why our products are used globally, including on prestigious projects such as the Cairo International Airport Terminal Three Project.

Armeg. Always performs.
