Wedge-Mill Tool Celebrating 35 years!


Wedge-Mill Tool is celebrating 35 years in business!!!







Wedge-Mill Tool (WMT) is very excited to be celebrating its 35th year in business this year!  It started as an idea with 5 guys in an 1000 square foot space and has grown and matured into a 12,000 square foot business.  John Yaros, President, is the only original partner that is still with the company.  Primarily a cutting tool manufacturer at the beginning, Wedge-Mill adapted and changed with the needs of its customers.  Currently, along with manufacturing cutting tools, WMT manufactures assembly and  fabricated parts for a variety of industries including automotive, conveyor, copper and brass foundries, medical , gage, military and cookware industries.  WMT has the ability to machine aluminum, plastic, carbide, in addition to a wide range of steel and other non-ferrous metals.  “We are very fortunate to  celebrate this great milestone especially when we started in the middle of a recession back in 1982,” Yaros stated, “I look forward to seeing Wedge-Mill continue to grow and prosper.”  Check out our website at www.wedgemill.com  or contact us at sales@wedgemill.com
