Paul Rauch founded Tool Specialties Company in 1947.\u00a0 He was an experienced toolmaker with entrepreneurial spirit.\u00a0 Since the very first day we have maintained a tradition of Quality and Excellence in the Tool & Die Industry.<\/p>\n

We are a second and third generation company that continues to provide our customers with prompt service and accurate craftsmanship.\u00a0 Paul began in a 7,000 square foot building in Overland, Missouri with machinery considered to be the best of its time.\u00a0 There were no computers and no numeric controls just very skilled toolmakers that found a way to produce precision Dies, Jigs, Fixtures, and Special Machinery with what we now consider the most basic equipment.<\/p>\n

Since then Tool Specialties Company has grown consistently.\u00a0 We are now located in a 22,000 square foot facility in Hazelwood, Missouri.\u00a0 We now employ over twenty-five people.<\/p>\n

We still use some of the equipment first bought equipment by Paul Rauch.\u00a0 We have broadened our capabilities by adding many new pieces of equipment.\u00a0 The tooling that we produce begins with professional designs derived from the combination experience and the latest CAD technology.\u00a0 We have a CNC milling department supported by two programming stations equipped with state-of-the art CAD-CAM software.\u00a0 We also have three of the largest wire EDM machines in the St. Louis area.<\/p>\n

Over the years quality control has improved with high tech equipment capable of producing more accurate parts.\u00a0 Tool Specialties Company has invested in better ways of insuring accuracy.\u00a0 Our Brown & Sharpe CMM not only filled this need but also provides us with the means to do reverse engineering.<\/p>\n

Today we continue in the same spirit of the many skilled craftsmen that have worked at Tool Specialties Company throughout the years.\u00a0 Though many jobs that once required days of hand filing, polishing, and fitting can now be accomplished in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n

Our level quality and commitment to customer service remain the same.\u00a0 As we continue to grow and improve our methods in metalworking we look forward to passing these valuable benefits on to our customers.<\/p>\n
