In 1954, our founder Robert G. Woods opened Variety Tool & Die on 3115 Broad Street near downtown Dexter, Michigan, where for the next decade the business specialized in injection mold tools for the automotive industry. Then, in the late 1960s, the company acquired their first 35-ton press and began to run progressive stampings. To reflect this strategic change in direction, the organization was renamed to Variety Die & Stamping Co. The shift proved to be a forward-thinking investment, allowing the thriving company to acquire additional floor space over the next few years to accommodate the flourishing progressive stamping industry. In 1990, the original location could no longer serve the increasing size and scope of Variety’s stamping operation. The company moved to our current location and continued to grow throughout the 1990s, bringing the facility to 44,248 square feet. With subsequent additions in 2015, 2017, 2021, and 2022, the facility expanded to encompass 96,311 square feet. Today, Variety Die & Stamping comprises over 70 employees and specializes in progressive dies and production stampings and assemblies. With a strong domestic and international presence in the automotive and lawn and garden industries, Variety Die & Stamping has become a shining example of American ingenuity and innovation in manufacturing. #### Our People We boast an expert team.
