Champion Tools, LLC originally was established in 1959, St. Louis MO, as Custom Tool & Die. This family owned shop supported machining, Die and mold making activities for companies in and around the Midwest. In the early days the company was involved in the mockup and mold making of the F4 Phantom fighter jet when it was in the design stage. There were over 5000 F4’s built before the line was retired. Since then the company has been involved with many aspects of aerospace manufacturing programs. Including fixturing and tooling for the F15 line, F18 progamming and machining as well as many other manufacturing activities.
Business Direction
As the company grew, the work focus shifted to manufacturing of standard guide components and die sets for the stamping and molding industries. This has become our specialty and so it was decided to focus on this and expand our US stamping and mold customers base. The decision was made that the company needed a fresh new name and look. So Champion Tools, LLC was born and product lines, ball cages, guide post, bushings and die springs became our specialty and core business. Champion die sets and mold sets on request can be purchased. Our quality standards matches that of German precision DIN and as well the ISO standard. We have found that the German quality DIN standards meets and exceeds our requirements for precision and interchangeability of our die components. All of our suppliers, local, national and international are held to this standard, no exceptions.
