Default Too bad you're not a tool and die maker...

I'd have you come in for an interview - even though our business is down 30% from where it should be. Good luck with your job search - don't give up.

Default ProE - we only build tools for our own "consumption".

Mid to high volume metal stamping. Predominantly progressive draw dies (compound dies we can sketch on a plain piece of paper). The bulk of our production goes to the automotive market with a pretty good percentage going to the heavy equipment and industrial market.

Default Cool- that's of a scale that we don't often see.

We like ProE because we can "scale" our designs up or down when we have to build tooling for a new part that is similar to others that we have.
The bulk of our product goes to the oil seal industry. We supply the metal component for many seal manufacturers here and abroad. You may also find our stampings in many automatic transmissions as "bonded piston seals".
