This is a family
owned and operated company. William A. Thomas Sr. established the company in August of 1972 with four employees in a 2,000 square foot building in
Cleveland, Ohio.
Nicknamed "Willow" as a child, (the real word is Wilio in
Italian, meaning wild) the choice for the company's name was an obvious
one!
Bill's tool making experience encouraged a steady growth quickly earned an
excellent reputation. In 1982, Bill moved the company to a new 7500 square
foot facility in Strongsville, Ohio.
With an outstanding shop team, the second generation of Thomas toolmakers have
expanded the manufacturing capabilities and recently celebrated the entrance of
the third generation to the family business.

From
the beginning, part of our philosophy has been to provide
"standard-specials" as required; competitively priced, quality
working tools. But always a large part of our operation has been
to constantly expand our ability to conceptualize new and innovate
applications.
Sometimes without prints, from a prototype; sometimes
from a customer's sketch. However, most often from an idea, a
conversation, an unsolicited suggestion for an improvement.

By analyzing our customer's availability of equipment, We
can quickly determine the best way to machine competitively a
quality finished product. We can provide processing
services to determine speeds, feeds and chiploads. We utilize Mastercam
for design and programming.
Over the years our machines have gotten larger and more
sophisticated......and so has our engineering services.

Within
the controlled
environment facility we can maintain a maximum tolerance capability of +/- .00002.
And of course.......ISO compliant
QUALITY
& DEPENDABILITY GUARANTEED!
