Larson Tool & Stamping expands tool building capabilities

In its 100th year in business, Larson Tool & Stamping Co., a supplier of precision metal stampings and assemblies in Attleboro, Mass., is investing more than $200,000 to update and expand its tooling department.

As part of its ongoing lean manufacturing efforts, the company has repurposed more than 1,500 sq. ft. and is using lean principles to consolidate work flow processes and machinery, automate machining processes, and organize WIP and material storage. The company also has invested in additional high-speed CNC machining centers and has hired CNC programmer/operators and technicians to focus on making fabrication and assembly processes faster and more efficient.
