Family-owned and operated in Pittsburgh since 1978, JATCO Machine & Tool makes precision injection molds and machined components, with engineering, repair, and specialty laser services kept under one roof. Its tool-and-die heritage shows in work routinely held to tolerances of one thousandth of an inch or less, while the company’s proprietary RCO test-specimen mold system—developed in 1989—can change inserts in as little as eight seconds. JATCO also manages offshore tooling through international partners while providing local oversight and its own warranty and support.
