Tool & Die
At Archer Manufacturing, tool and die work has been our foundation since 1955. We specialize in designing, building, and maintaining dies that keep production lines running smoothly—from small precision dies to large-scale tooling. By combining decades of craftsmanship with modern CAD/CAM technology, we deliver tools that are accurate, durable, and built to perform.
We don’t just build tooling—we support it for the long term. Customers rely on us to repair, maintain, and improve existing dies, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency. With a fully equipped tool room and deep experience solving complex challenges, we’re a trusted partner across multiple industries. We design and build all common sheet metal dies, including blanking, piercing, bending, forming, progressive, and compound. From simple cuts to complex multi-step forming, every die is engineered for durability, reliability, and efficient production—whether for high-volume runs or custom parts.
