FAQs
What are your primary strengths over other companies in your industry?
Our main forte is in producing unique custom-made heavy duty tools, dies and molds which other companies may be unable to manufacture due to weight, dimensional complexity and large size of such products. Essentially we manufacture the items that other tool and die companies do not or cannot produce. Our expertise experience in tool and die work enables us to manufacture close tolerance precision 4 & 5-Axis machined parts from Titanium, Inconel, Monel and other exotic alloys that most other companies shy away from.

What are MGM’s manufacturing limitations?
There are not many concepts for tools, dies, molds and other machined components we have not encountered over the years. We have successfully manufactured some of the most intricate and close tolerance dies and molds very imagined. We typically ask that our customers provide us with their complete and clear dimensional blue prints. While we prefer to receive our customer’s prints in “Abode” format, we also welcome receiving prints in CAD/CAM formats as well.
What if there are no blue prints available for certain out-of-date items and only samples of a die, mold or component are available?
While we prefer to receive a customer blue print, we realized that often times older designs of tools, dies and molds can be misplaced or lost. Nevertheless, MGM’s team of talented personnel can “reverse engineer” most any product, produce a new blue print from that item and then manufacture it.
Can MGM also handle metal processing such as plating and painting?
MGM produces all its products complete per our customers’ blue prints. Even though MGM does not have in-house plating or painting capabilities, we need be we utilize a number of our own or customer approved suppliers for plating, painting and other processes.
