Kincrome is an iconic Australian brand that has become one of the most recognized names in the professional tool market. Founded in Melbourne in 1987 by the Burgoine family, the company initially focused on hand tools for the automotive and hardware industries. Over several decades, it expanded its footprint to become a dominant supplier in Australia and New Zealand, known for products ranging from hex keys and socket sets to heavy-duty storage solutions.
While the brand remains headquartered in Scoresby, Victoria, and maintains deep Australian roots through its design and engineering processes, the manufacturing of its precision hand tools like this hex key set typically takes place in Taiwan or China to leverage specialized global industrial capabilities. In 2021, Kincrome was acquired by the United States-based GreatStar Industrial, one of the world's largest hand tool manufacturers. This acquisition has integrated Kincrome into a global supply chain while allowing it to maintain its distinct Australian identity and local distribution network.
