Quality Tool, Die and Engineering Services

Commitment to quality and customer satisfaction allows Superior Engineering Company to be the resource in much of the United States for Tool, Die and Engineering Services.  This commitment begins with our job tracking system, internal control procedures and a complete CAD drafting department with integrated system software capabilities.  Quality continues with departments larger than entire tooling companies, rigid inspection procedures, industry leading technology and just-in-time delivery.  To build good tooling, you need good equipment. Our 20 tool makers and designers have onsite access to Sodick wire EDMs, and Kiwa, Fadal, Okuma Howa, and Supermax CNC mills along with a Trax TRL CNC lathe.. Tool.gif (23555 bytes)

Where most shops fall short, we are able to take your die and debug it on presses with capacities of up to 300 tons and bed sizes up to 52 x 102 inches.  We specialize in progressive dies, and commonly work with product materials from 0.005" to 0.250" thick.   Our dies can make products from the size of a dime to that of large appliance shells.  We build high quality dies with tight to moderate tolerances and for all levels of production.  We also can service the dies to maintain your satisfaction.  Since the beginning, we've been investing in our people and abilities to ensure the capacity, precision and quality you demand.  Our clients include those in the computer, appliance, recreational vehicle, automotive, medical and furniture industries.  With your part, print, or idea, we can design, build, and debug the perfect die for the job.
