Allied Tool and Die Thrives on Heavy Metal

Stampings requiring unique metals and manufacturing expertise are pretty much the norm at Allied Tool and Die, Inc. in Cleveland, Ohio. More than 61 years of tooling and stamping experience has given Allied a reputation for being able to deliver the “tough job” whether it’s surgical instruments, computer equipment, automotive, or consumer products. Allied Tool and Die President Fred Montag is continuing the work of his father Walter, who founded the company in 1946. “Tooling was the primary focus early on, and IBM was our largest customer,” Montag said. “My father bought the first new Minster press to use as a try-out press.The people at IBM said we were making better parts then they were, so “All of our straight side presses are Minsters, and it is the precision of the Minster presses that allows us to offer such a complete and unique product offering,” Montag said. “We not only strive to tackle all of the tough material jobs, but we also offer many value-added services like special coatings, heat treating and assembly. We want to be a one stop shop for our customers.” Allied recently expanded its capabilities with some high volume jobs, and in order to meet customer demands, Montag ordered a Minster P2-100 press to complement the three existing P2-100s, along with three Minster E2 Hevistamper presses and other P2 presses ranging from 60 to 250 tons. Then we started running parts for them, and things took off from there.” Initially specializing in small precision stampings and assemblies for the office machine industries, Allied has evolved into one of the industry’s experts for stamping products from high-strength spring, stainless, and a variety of other non- ferrous and non-typical materials.
