Early growth driven by food & beverage mold tooling.

The business’s specialty was cutting tools for the glass bottle mold industry, which had a strong presence in Southwestern Pennsylvania and was growing at the time. Ken’s customer list grew based on his quality and his ability to deliver cutting tools quickly when needed — values that are still a strong part of the company. By the 1980s, the business had outgrown the family garage, taking on employees and moving into its own dedicated space in Washington, PA.

Diversification into aerospace, automotive, and medical tooling.

As Custom Tool continued to grow, the business diversified from serving the food & beverage packaging industry to building custom cutting tools for customers in the aerospace, automotive and industrial markets. With growth came expansion. The company added space at its Washington, PA shop for additional production and new capabilities.
