Our story
Built on a vision in 1967 — and growing by embracing change.
Our commitment to customers shows through our growth and the relationships we've built over the years. At Sharples, quality exceeds minimum requirements — we go the extra lengths to ensure quality is adhered to from design to use.
Sharples was established in 1967 by William R. Sharples, built on the industry's need for a dedicated specialist in steel rule diemaking. That vision of a commercial die shop came to life and today provides quality tooling to multiple industries.
Sharples moves forward and grows not by fearing change but by embracing it. Our philosophy is, and always will be, to invest in the BEST.
