Who we are
A brief history
ACTiV MFG was founded in 1947 under the name Accurate Carbide Tool Co., Inc. by Marshall Longtain. He started out grinding custom carbide form tooling for local automotive manufacturing plants. He was a driven craftsman who always put the customer first, going above and beyond to provide quality tooling in short order.
Since our founding we have evolved into a full service job-shop under 3rd generation ownership. We provide a full range of manufacturing services including:
CNC Milling
CNC Turning
Grinding (ID / OD / Surface)
Wire EDM
We’ve also developed strategic partnerships that allow us to combine additive and subtractive manufacturing methods to provide parts requiring unique geometries and precision tolerancing. This spans, both, plastic and metal components.
Our Value Proposition
We recognize that advanced manufacturing technologies and the emphasis on lean operations has made it imperative for original equipment manufacturers to develop relationships with machining suppliers that consistently provide quality parts and tooling.
"Our mission is to maintain consistency by providing manufacturing and repair solutions that optimize performance, price and delivery!" This is accomplished by fostering a team-oriented atmosphere filled with experienced craftsmen! We backup these exceptional human resources by investing in:
An ERP & Quality Management System to guide business operations
New Technology
Training
As a contract manufacturer, our primary function is making parts per customer requirements. We add value by sharing our materials & machining expertise to assist our customers in improving manufacturing processes!
"We've been machining carbide and steel for over 66 years and put this knowledge to work daily to develop tooling machining and repair solutions."
We excel in machining and repairing blueprint tooling details, as well as providing short-run production and prototyping services.
