Darex LLC, parent company of Work Sharp Sharpeners, has announced the sale of Darex Industrial to Gary Varney as of December 1, 2020.
Work Sharp and Drill Doctor are members of the new parent company, Work Sharp. Work Sharp will continue offering wow products and wow service for our customers, now with greater focus and intention on the consumer market.
The name Darex has been synonymous with Industrial Drill Sharpening for almost 50 years. However, the focus of Darex, LLC has changed. Over the past several years Darex, LLC has seen success through the consumer goods lines of knife and tool sharpeners known as Work Sharp, and Drill Doctor. Designing, manufacturing, selling, and servicing industrial drill sharpeners is no longer in line with the consumer-focused business model. Darex Industrial Sharpeners are still relevant and provide quality solutions to the industrial markets and will continue to offer these solutions under new ownership.
Effective December 1, Gary Varney has purchase Darex, the Brand, the Name, the Logo, and the complete product line, past and present. With that, the current Darex Industrial team has also moved with the new ownership.
The Work Sharp Team is committed to make the transition as smooth and successful as possible. Business will continue as usual. Stakeholders will be contacted directly with more details about future operations.
