About us

LK Tool Company Limited was founded in Derby, England in 1963 by Norman Key (a former Rolls Royce engineer) and Bill Lowther (Norman’s father-in-law). It was a supplier of granite inspection tooling to the engineering industry and then became the innovator of the "Bridge Type" multi-axis Coordinate Measuring Machine. LK started operations in the USA in 1983 capturing a large part of the automotive market for high volume production inspection systems. Since then, LK has been designing, manufacturing, and deploying CMMs throughout the world.

LK is the world’s oldest manufacturer of CMM. This year, as LK celebrates its 55th anniversary as a leader in the CMM Industry, the company has returned to be an independent UK CMM manufacturer headquartered in Derby, with Sales and Support offices in the UK, North America, Belgium, France and Germany.
