Titan Tool and Die

What Titan Tool and Die does

Titan Tool and Die, Inc. is a privately held metal stamping tool and die manufacturer founded in 2000 and based in Norton Shores, Michigan, operating from a 35,000 sq. ft. facility. The firm designs, builds, repairs, and modifies metal stamping dies — including progressive stamping dies, line dies, pre-pierce and cut-off dies, blanking dies, and two- and three-axis mechanical and servo transfer dies — serving primarily automotive OEMs and Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers, with additional business in office furniture, appliance, and agricultural equipment manufacturers.

The company's technical stack is anchored by capital equipment and standard industrial software rather than proprietary platforms. Manufacturing assets include a Verson 600-ton press (SE4-600-132-8, 132" x 86" bed, capable of tools up to 136" x 83"), additional 400-ton and 150-ton presses, Fanuc Robo Cut A-0iE and A-1iD Wire EDM machines, and Fadal CNC vertical machining centers. Design and engineering use VISI, SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD, Fast Blank, Master CAM, and Catia V5 with Auto Form simulation. Complementary offerings include precision CNC machining and grinding for die components and weld fixtures, prototyping, low-volume stamping (hundreds to thousands of parts), and press brake tooling machining.

Titan generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven B2B sales: customers submit RFQs via a website form or email and receive quotes within 2-3 business days, with no published pricing. Distribution is direct, with no resellers or intermediaries; customers include automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 facilities nationwide and overseas. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 (ANAB-accredited) and Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council certifications, is privately held and bootstrapped with no institutional investors, and is run by General Manager Fernando Vicente (joined 2017), Engineering Manager Frank Walejewski, and founder Mark Timmer, who continues as Shop Manager and apprenticeship mentor.
