About Alpha Professional Tools Australia
History & Heritage
Alpha Professional Tools® was founded in 1986 and has become a leading manufacturer of quality diamond cutting and drilling tools. The brand was launched in Australia in the 1990s under the family-owned Sheffield Group, which identified a need for better drill bits and accessories for local trades. Since then, Alpha Tools has grown to support over 1300 distributors Australia-wide, making its blades, bits and accessories readily available to contractors, tilers and builders.
