Derry Precision Tools is celebrating 50 years of precision engineering excellence in 2022.

And what a journey it has been since we first started out in early 1972.

Back then, we operated mainly as a tool and die precision engineering manufacturing company, but our founder, Jim Jackson, had a strong vision to expand our product offering and geographical reach.

Fast forward 50 years and Derry Precision Tools has a team of 30-plus people, and growing. And although we are very much a local company – firmly rooted in Northern Ireland – we have achieved global reach, supplying some of the world’s biggest names across a range of sectors.

These include General Electric, Hyster Yale Group, Baker Hughes, Randox, Boeing, Airbus, Collins Aerospace, Thompson Aero Seating, Aim Altitude and many more.

“We continue to enjoy remarkable and sustainable growth with high calibre clients across the world thanks to the skills and dedication of our local team,” says Managing Director Rory Jackson.

“Although we supply globally, we are dedicated to always sticking to our family-business values of providing a very personalised service for our clients. That approach has stood to us over the many years we’ve enjoyed in business.

“Our mission is to provide a one stop, quality precision engineering solution to all our customers globally while always taking a local, personal approach,” he adds.

Derry Precision Tools has been constantly evolving in recent decades, not least in the early adoption of new engineering technologies and equipment.

“Our full transition into a high-end CNC [computerised numerical control] provider ensures that we have the capacity to cater for low or high volume orders for pre-designed components. We use only the latest high-tech precision engineering and quality assurance equipment. Coupled with our team’s adept problem-solving ability and machining know-how, that investment in technology ensures that our clients benefit from superior turnkey design, manufacture and supply solutions for any engineering issues they need to address,” Rory explains.

Derry Precision Tools has a long standing reputation for ensuring all parts and components are manufactured with the greatest accuracy possible and reliably supplied on time, and within budget.

Rory says: “Some of the world’s leading companies in their respective sectors know they can rely on us to deliver. That’s because they know we have many hundreds of years of combined experience behind us, and that they’re confident they’ll always receive the exemplary customer services levels they have come to expect

“Here’s to another 50 years of excellence in delivering quality and service to clients who trust us to get the job done well.”
