Akron Tool & Die Co. marks 75 years in business

Akron Tool & Die Co., a manufacturer of custom components for a variety of extrusion types, is celebrating 75 years of providing engineering, customized tooling, and precision machining.

Robert Magee, Fred Jones, and George Foerstner established Akron Tool & Die Co. in Akron, Ohio, in 1941 to provide precision machinery components to the rubber industry. During the 1960s, the company expanded to serve the rapidly growing plastics industry, supplying OEMs with extrusion dies, adapters, feed pipes, and related components for polymer processing machines. Robert Magee purchased the company from his two partners in 1965. His son, Michael, became president during the 1990s and is the current owner.

The plant has been expanded a number of times and currently contains 15,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing and office space.
