THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 87 WELCOME TO WRENTHAM TOOL GROUP! Wrentham Tool Group has been a leading supplier of heading tools since its founding in Wrentham, MA, USA in 1948 and is the longest operating recess header tool manufacturer in the world. WTG has undergone many changes since then including ISO9001:2008 certification and continues to re-invent itself to better serve the ever changing global market. As a result of this dedication to continuous improvement, WTG has become the market leader in a wide range of heading tools. In 2004, Wrentham Steel Products was purchased by Phillips Screw Company and was renamed Wrentham Tool Products. Phillips Screw Company holds patents on several innovative recesses such as the POZIDRIV®, MORTORQ® Super and HEXSTIX®. In July 2010, WTG purchased RICO and Astro® from PCC.
