Since 1988, Key Dies has combined hand craftsmanship with modern cutting technology to make steel rule dies and related tooling for die-cutting operations. The central Pennsylvania company has grown from three employees working with hand-cut jigsaws to a 25-person, two-shift operation in a 24,000-square-foot facility, while its original employees still help manage daily production. Key Dies also provides prototyping, reverse engineering and contract laser or water-jet cutting, with a focus on accurate tooling and quick turnaround.
