CLEVELAND STEEL TOOL - THE WORLD LEADER IN IRONWORKER PUNCHES AND DIES
In 1908, The Cleveland Steel Tool Company was founded as a producer of patented punches for the automotive leaf spring industry. That same year, Henry Ford introduced his Model T automobile, the New Year’s Ball was introduced in Times Square, Grand Canyon National Park was established, the first Mother’s Day was observed, and Orville Wright carried a passenger on a flight for the first time. In the Articles of Incorporation, dated May 21, 1908, the purpose of the Company is stated as:
Manufacturing punches, dies, tools & specialties and machines for using the same and for the sale thereof and the transacting of all other business necessary and incidental thereto
Over one hundred years later, Cleveland Steel Tool is the world leader in the manufacture and sale of Punches, Dies, Tools and Specialties. Cleveland Steel Tool supplies Punches, Dies, Shear Blades and Specialty tools to the structural steel, railroad (track and cars), farm equipment, truck frame, shipbuilding and grader blade industries, as well as serving all manner of fabricators and ornamental iron shops.
