Our journey

Major Industries Ltd. has earned a global reputation as a premier manufacturer of high-performance cold-form tooling, rooted in expertise that dates back to the early 1980s. The company's journey began with a focus on the heat treatment industry and a strong foundation in metallurgical science, which soon extended to the development of steel tooling.

​

In 1988, Mil pioneered a patented process that transformed the industry: the "Mil-Tip." This innovation involved a vacuum-brazed fusion of a carbide tip to a steel shank, creating a unique tool that combines the durability of tungsten carbide with the toughness of high-speed steel. The result was a punch with remarkable wear resistance and strength—quickly recognized by the fastener industry as an affordable yet high-performing alternative to solid carbide punches. The Mil-Tip remains a preferred choice among cold-forming professionals worldwide.

​

At MIL, we tackle the complex challenges of the cold-forming industry head-on. By staying in tune with customer needs, industry standards, and the necessity for material optimization, we continuously invest in cutting-edge technology to expand our capabilities and offer highly customized tooling solutions. Our facilities are equipped with a range of high-speed steel and tungsten carbide grades, pressure furnaces with rapid quenching, and five PVD coating options—all designed to extend tooling life and enhance wear resistance even under extreme conditions. By managing each step of the manufacturing process in-house, we ensure strict quality control and cost-efficiency, consistently delivering top-quality products at competitive prices.

Driven by our commitment to "make things better by making better things," we are dedicated to producing tooling that minimizes production interruptions, maximizes machine uptime, and enhances overall productivity. This approach not only lowers tooling costs but also improves efficiency, yielding tangible savings over time. Drawing on decades of experience and specialized expertise, we have expanded our product line to cover the entire cold-forming process—from punches and inserts to complete punch and die assemblies, transfer fingers, KO pins, and sleeves.

​

For nearly four decades, we have built long-term partnerships based on performance, reliability, and trust. Our commitment to a complete tooling service goes beyond production, bringing measurable value to the fastener industry and ensuring greater operational benefits for our customers.
