Kraiss France

Kraiss France sells high-precision industrial cutting tools—solid-carbide drills, end-mills, reamers, thread mills and custom form tools—priced in the premium tier (€40–€400 per unit). Orders are placed through the multilingual e-commerce site and by phone/fax for factory-direct shipment; no physical retail network is maintained. The company machines every tool from European micro-grain carbide on 5-axis CNC grinders, coats in-house with TiAlN, AlCrN or diamond films, and guarantees ±0.01 mm diameter tolerance and 30-day express custom manufacture. Its “K-Series” coated end-mills and coolant-fed drills are stocked as standards, while one-drawing-to-batch specials make up 35 % of turnover. Buyers are production managers and CNC programmers in French aerospace, medical-device and motorsport subcontractors who need lot-to-lot repeatability and fast re-order turnaround; they value the technical hotline, French-language tooling datasheets and next-day delivery inside France. The brand appeals to shops that run lights-out machining and will pay more to avoid scrap or downtime. Kraiss competes with global cutting-tool multinationals and regional European carbide specialists; it differentiates by limiting the catalogue to high-performance geometries, keeping all grinding/coating in France for traceability, and offering low-minimum custom runs with the same lead-time as catalogue items.
