Launched at the State Library of Victoria in June 2017.

Sutton Tools is the quintessential David and Goliath story of the little Aussie battler against the big boys. The player thought too small to worry about, is now the only major cutting tool manufacturer in Australia, whose quality is so superb, it exports to more than 40 countries across the globe.

A truly remarkable company, Sutton Tools’ recipe for success stems from a combination of attributes and attitudes that’s enabled them to weather countless recessions, market fluctuations, ever-changing demands, government policy changes and globalisation.

It’s been a pleasure to write this book and work with Sutton Tools and the publishing team ArmstrongQ.
