Woking:
1988: Where It All Began

1990: Building Our Specialist Range
In the early 1990’s, the utility sector was privatised and Toolout formed a strategic alliance with Raychem, diversifying into the electricity infrastructure industry and specialising in the distribution of power cable accessories.
Throughout the 1990’s Toolout continued its growth, forming strategic distribution partnerships with market leading companies such as Furse, 3M, and Cembre, expanding its leadership of the medium voltage (MV) power distribution sector. These alliances allowed Toolout to offer a fully comprehensive range of products and services within the specialist power cable accessories market.
