John Lawson Distributors are a company based in Lower Darwen in the North West of England and supply a range of HSS cutting tools to distributors around the UK. 

We keep large stocks of all our standard items for next working day delivery.

We focus on providing excellent customer service by using the experience gained over many years in supply to the UK manufacturing industry.

We are UK agents for SOMTA Cutting Tools and Viking and also have our own brand Opti-cut.

SOMTA Cutting Tools 

Somta cutting tools have been supplied in to the UK for many years, but under different and well known brands! SOMTA previously owned GCDC Tools and for a time was owned by Brooke Cutting Tools. SOMTA is now owned by OSG.

John Lawson Distributors are UK agents for SOMTA and stock a large part of their range in the UK.

VIKING PRODUCTS

VIKING has been in existence for over 100 years and  offer a high quality range of Holesaws, Hacksaw blades and other associated products. In 2014 we were pleased to be offered the UK agency and added their Holesaw and Hacksaw Blades and other items into our range. These products enhance and compliment the cutting tool range from SOMTA and make our product offering to UK merchants more attractive.

OPTI-CUT Range

Our own brand OPTI-CUT range has been developed by working with other major manufacturers to enhance and compliment the existing range from SOMTA. This enables us to supply additional items which are not available from SOMTA and means that we can supply an infinite range of standards and special cutting tools that may be required by our customers.

By buying  the SOMTA range from John Lawson Distributors you have the back up of a major world manufacturer of cutting tools along with substantial stockholding of product in the UK for next working day delivery.
