Cavan-based ATA has been named Local Enterprise of the Year at the fifth annual Irish Times Business Awards, in association with Bank of Ireland, at the Mansion House in Dublin.
Founded in 1963, ATA is a manufacturer and supplier of precision cutting tools for industrial groups globally, serving more than 7,500 customers in 90 countries. It was acquired in 2008 by former Smurfit Kappa chief executive Peter Cosgrove, who serves as its chief executive, and other investors when the business had revenues of just €17 million. Its shareholders now include the management team, the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, Development Capital Fund, and a number of other minority investors.
The toolmaker employs more than 300 people worldwide including 170 staff at its base in Cavan, where it undertakes research and development and engineering work.
In December 2022, the company said it had acquired Dutch manufacturer Van Hoorn Carbide and Industrial Tooling Corporation (ITC) in Tamworth, England. The acquisition prices were not disclosed but the businesses will add about €25 million to ATA’s annual turnover.
It was the group’s fourth major acquisition in three years. It bought cutting tools specialist Karnasch in Germany in 2019 and the microtool manufacturing activities of Swiss-based Näpflin in 2021.
ATA chief executive Peter Cosgrove said the acquisitions would “contribute significantly” to the expansion of its product portfolio, geographic reach, manufacturing capacity and offering to customers.
“Van Hoorn Carbide and ITC are long-established, quality manufacturers of carbide round tools with strong positions in their markets. Both organisations are family-led with strong teams and have invested significantly in machining equipment and technology, ensuring that the highest quality tool production and processes are in place,” he said.
“With these most recent transactions, we continue to execute on our strategy to scale the business globally through organic growth complemented by targeted acquisitions.”
The transactions were facilitated by debt from AIB and Bank of Ireland.
It’s impressive to see how ATA has grown from a relatively small business into an international manufacturer serving thousands of customers worldwide. I think its continued investment in innovation, skilled employees, and strategic acquisitions is a great example of successful business development. It reminds me of how progress in Veck IO also comes from smart decisions and steady improvement.

The physics make the runs surprisingly tense without being complicated. eggy car is mostly about judging momentum and knowing when not to press too hard.
I find it interesting how strategic acquisitions and investment partnerships can help companies expand their global reach. Serving more than 7,500 customers across 90 countries demonstrates the importance of quality and reliability in industrial manufacturing. I enjoy learning about successful businesses and their growth stories, just as I enjoy exploring new opportunities in EaglerCraft. It will be interesting to see how ATA continues to strengthen its position in the international market.
