The Atlantic Tool & Die Co. was founded in 1937 in Cleveland by Ernest Mehwald, a skilled tool and die maker from Germany. What started as a small tool & die shop changed direction in 1960 with Frank Mehwald, Ernests son, coming into the business. Frank, ATDs President/CEO, expanded into Stampings and moved the facility to Strongsville, Ohio. Multiple facility expansions later, Atlantic Tool & Die has grown to a respected and highly successful international precision stamping, tooling, welding, and assembly company with four facilities in Ohio, and plants in Harlingen, Texas, Matamoras, Mexico, and an engineering office in Costa Rica. ATD prides itself on quality and competitive engineering.
Pipeline Products, Inc was founded in 1980 by Ray Higley. Ray had been providing wet tapping and pipe welding services for decades and during that time, he had fabricated many different hand tools for local water districts. He used his work experience to design innovative tools and products. As an avid drag car fabricator and driver, he also demanded only the highest quality products and workmanship. Pipeline Products, Inc continues to be the leader in both new product development and quality. This gives us a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and feedback from our most important customer...the worker in the field. Inside this catalog you will find a wide variety of new products and many improvements to existing products. In this industry, there are innovators and there are imitators. Other companies may copy our products but they cannot copy our twenty-five year history of providing the highest quality waterworks tools that are MADE IN THE U.S.A. and BUILT TO LAST.
