Whitworth Tool Inc.


Whitworth Tool began as a modest family business in the garage of Kenny Whitworth in the spring of 1998. His goal was to build a tool and die company that provided the highest quality service at a speed that meets the customers’ needs. Kenny and his son, Jared, began producing quality products for their customers. As word spread, the demand became more than two people could handle. More equipment and more employees were added to cover the workload. It quickly became apparent that the garage was not big enough to accommodate the rapidly growing business.
In October of 1999, Whitworth Tool moved into an 8,800 sq. ft. state of the art facility, which would allow the business to flourish and expand. During this time period, the company began providing more services such as die maintenance, reverse engineering, and small scale production work. These new services along with its core services allowed Whitworth Tool continued growth at a steady rate. Within a few years, it was clear that the current facilities were too small to accommodate continued expansion.
In September of 2002, Whitworth Tool would move to a 44,000 square foot facility. Over the years, the facility has allowed substantial growth in both the number of people and equipment. The company now has over 100 employees and more than 100 machines, running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The company has also added more services to meet its customers’ needs. New services include, press spotting, CMM certification, and large scale production work.
Today, the company still strives to meet the goals set by Kenny Whitworth in 1998, provide the highest quality service at a speed that meets the customers needs.
