Overview
The group began as a die and tool maker in 1997, and dies remain at the core of what we do. Our qualified tool and die makers design, machine, heat treat, assemble and try out every die in-house, from single-stage blanking dies to multi-station progressive tools for high-volume production.
Our capabilities
- 01Progressive dies for high-volume stamping
- 02Compound and blanking dies
- 03Piercing, notching and trimming dies
- 04Forming, bending and draw dies
- 05Transfer and line dies
- 06Die tryout and first-article approval
- 07Spare punches, inserts and buttons
- 08Die maintenance, sharpening and rework
How a progressive die works
Each press stroke advances the strip one pitch while every station works at once: pierce, notch and finally blank the finished part. Our tool and die makers design the strip layout, build every station and prove the die in tryout.

FAQs
What types of dies do you build?
Progressive dies, blanking and piercing dies, compound dies, forming and bending dies, and transformer lamination dies.
Which tool steels are used?
Cutting and forming sections are typically made from tool steels such as D2 or A2, hardened to around 58–62 HRC, with the grade chosen for the material and volume being pressed.
Who manufactures the parts?
Parts are manufactured within the Ferrokshar Group, in production since 1997. Engineering, project management and on-site support are handled by our team in Toronto, ON.
