OUR MESSAGE
Greetings from Helm Tool Company,
We are one of the leading mold-makers in the US and the Americas, particularly in cutlery
molds. However, our portfolio includes superior products from many other industries including food and dining, automotive, electronics, and FMCG (fast moving consumer
goods). Examples of molds in these industries include lids & other closure molds, various
containers, plates, and other specialty parts. Additionally, we have a history of innovation
and are always open to help partners in new industries succeed. Please refer to the next
pages of the InfoPak for a highlights description of “Our Services”, and “Our Factory”.
Helm Tool has many years of expertise with injection molds and die cast dies. Our molds
range from sampling prototypes to 2x96 (192 parts per shot) cavity production molds,
which produce quality products at high speed. Helm Tool has the experience, machines, talented workforce, and reputation for creating and producing products of highest quality. We
work closely with many partners from different fields and always guarantee an exceptional
product, from vision to turnkey-ready, at any time.
Please send us information and requirements on the products you are interested in and we
would love to start doing business with you. Also, please let us know what kind of tooling
you are using in order for us to understand your position and how we could be of help to
you.
I am looking forward to hearing back from you in the near future and I hope to work with
you and your company. In the meantime have a nice day and thank you for your consideration.
Best Regards,
Helmut Mueller
