Consort Precision Diamond Company Announces New Identity As Continental Diamond Tool Limited
NEW HAVEN, IN (Sept. 11, 2023) - Continental Diamond Tool Corporation (CDT) is pleased to share a major announcement regarding its subsidiary Consort Precision Diamond Company (Consort), a top manufacturer of precision diamond tools in the United Kingdom. Effective July 10, 2023, Consort has officially changed its name to Continental Diamond Tool Limited.
The new name aligns the subsidiary with its parent company, CDT, which acquired Consort in 2018. CDT manufactures high-precision custom superabrasive grinding wheels for companies worldwide from its headquarters in New Haven, Indiana. These products integrate seamlessly with Consort as a distinguished and trusted producer of high precision diamond rotary dressers.
At the core of this name change is a firm dedication to delivering premium quality and innovation. Over the past several years, Consort has expanded its facility in Kinmel Bay to manufacture a wider range of superabrasive products and better cater to a global market. In 2021, an expansion of the plating lab more than doubled the company’s capacity to produce the high-quality tight tolerance reverse plated rotary dressers used by some of the world’s most prestigious corporations. It also paved the way for diversification into electroplated grinding wheels, which the facility began producing in early 2023.
This strategic growth is part of the company's unwavering commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions to customers. As both entities continue to expand their offerings to encompass more high-performance grinding technologies, aligning the name and marketing efforts of the two is a logical move.
In the coming weeks, on-lookers can expect to see updates across various aspects of Consort's branding and materials as it transitions to Continental Diamond Tool Limited. This includes revisions to its packaging, marketing materials, website, and all pertinent documentation. The company is committed to ensuring a smooth transition, with minimal disruption to the customer experience.
“For nearly four decades, Consort has faithfully served leaders in the automotive, aerospace, and other precision manufacturing industries. We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationships with customers under our new name,” says Jeff Wirth, Managing Director of Continental Diamond Tool Limited and Engineering Manager at Continental Diamond Tool Corporation.
