Supplying welding supplies and consumables direct to the Metal Fabrication industry since 1973

Metal Fabrication Supplies is a company with a team dedicated to meeting the needs of the metal fabrication industry, by offering a complete sales and service programme to aid the processes of sawing, welding, weld removal, surface finishing, fixing and stock inventory management.

Our products are selected to either work faster, last longer or increase safety. We are committed to constantly improving both ours and our customers’ processes, ensuring we always deliver products that perform Faster, Safer, and Longer than alternatives.

Derby Industrial Power Tools was founded in 1973 by the current chairman and his wife, working from their home in Derby. 18 months later, Derby Industrial Power Tools moved into its first premises in Canal Street, Derby and took on its first employee. The company continued to expand in 1975 with dedicated sales personnel to deliver the company’s Faster, Safer, Longer proposition.

A year later, Derby Industrial Power Tools set up their first workshop to ensure an excellent after sales service was consistently delivered, and the business started to operate beyond the confines of Derbyshire.

Over time Derby Industrial Power Tools was shortened to DIPT and the range was expanded to provide specialist products to our target markets.
