Tool Control Solutions from MSA Foams
At MSA Foams, we specialise in tool control solutions that improve efficiency, reduce loss, and maintain safety across a range of industries. Using advanced CAD design and CNC machining, we produce custom tool control foam and shadow foam boards that ensure every tool has its place — clearly visible, secure, and protected.
Complete Tool Control Systems
Whether you need to organise a single toolkit or a full workshop, our tool control foam inserts are designed to provide maximum visibility and accountability. Each insert is custom-cut to fit your tools precisely, helping to prevent damage, reduce downtime, and streamline daily operations.
Our shadow board foam systems use contrasting layers to highlight missing tools instantly - a simple yet effective visual management solution that supports workplace safety and quality standards.
MSA’s in-house design team works closely with clients to create bespoke layouts, using digital scanning to capture exact tool dimensions. The result is a professional, durable, and highly accurate solution ideal for environments where control and traceability are essential, such as aerospace, automotive, defence, and manufacturing sectors.
