A Heritage of Innovation - A few words from our owner

In 1957, my Grandfather, T.M. Smith – inventor, engineer, businessman – founded a tool company that pioneered the development of Quick-Change tool holding systems in North America.  His, and our, success was based on listening to customers and meeting their needs with products of the highest attainable quality.

Both of these ideas were far ahead of their time, but his vision has been validated many times over as the rest of the world strives to achieve the goals T.M. Smith set for himself and his company in 1957.  The standards and methods he established then are still the cornerstone of the quality programs we have in place today.

Today, T.M. Smith is the world’s leading producer of Quick-Change toolholding systems for drilling and tapping in both high-volume and small-lot production.  We produce a best in class line of HSK, CAT, and Shrinker holders to meet even the most demanding applications.  We offer over 95% off the shelf delivery on standard configurations and can rapidly produce complete specials to meet your needs.    

We have achieved that success by listening to our customers and investing in technology that helps them improve their productivity.  During the three generations of family ownership the success of T.M. Smith Tool has been based on listening.  Listening to our customers and listening to our employees.  We believe even today this simple principle allows us to differentiate ourselves from the many companies we compete with on a daily basis.  We understand that in today’s crowded marketplace our customers have options when making tooling purchases.  Supplying world-class engineered precision spindle tooling solutions is a must for any legitimate supplier in today’s market.  We have assembled a world class team of professionals at all levels of our company that embrace the concept of speed on behalf of the customer.  

We appreciate your interest in our company and look forward to helping you achieve your goals through working together.

Best Regards,

David Smith
President
