provider of custom machined tooling, gauging, and detail parts and
assemblies. Merit Tool supplies a wide range of "niche"
manufacturers who require precision machining services, whether it's
tooling or limited production parts.

variety of industrial customers in central Indiana. Since its
inception the company has steadily grown and now includes a customer
base that stretches from the East to West coast and throughout the
Midwest. In 1998 the corporation changed its name to Merit Tool &
