About Carlson
Carlson Tool & Manufacturing has grown over the years from a simple tool and die company to the largest tooling and manufacturing facility of its kind in North America, and the reasons for this growth are clear. Carl Edquist's vision of a responsive, dynamic company laid the foundation for expansion into new markets. Carlson's second generation management team led by Jerry Edquist has focused on our customers and the markets they serve, adding business units for tooling, gundrilling, deephole drilling and contract machining to further support our customers.
Today, we offer all of these services and more from our 104,000 square foot, ISO-certified facilities in Wisconsin. Diversification has enabled us to meet the needs of a global clientele. More importantly, it has given us the strength and flexibility to weather economic storms. It's this legacy that makes Carlson your ideal partner for the long-term.
History
Change is constant. At Carlson Tool & Manufacturing, our response is too. Founder Carl Edquist established our company on the belief that if you hire the best people and give them the most advanced technology, you will bring the most innovative and effective solutions to the market. Since 1958, this has been a guiding principle and hallmark of our company. Our commitment to this philosophy is evident in everything we do.
Through the years we have adopted new technologies, streamlined operations and expanded capabilities - all while committing significant resources to training and development. This has enabled us to adapt to change while maintaining the highest standard for quality.
The result for you is a responsive organization, consistent product quality, and a trusted business partner for engineered tooling and manufacturing solutions.
