DTD specializes in complex metal stampings made from materials as thin as .002. The majority of our components are used in the medical device industry. All tools are designed and built at our Vista facility.

Company Background

Diversified Tool & Die is a privately held precision metal stamping company which was established in Santa Ana, California in 1972 by Ernst Wilms. Mr Wilms immigrated to the United States in 1952 after serving his toolmaking apprenticeship at Robert Bosch GmbH in Stuttgart Germany. Since our modest beginnings in Santa Ana, to our current Custom built 33,000 square foot facility, Diversified's long held policy of vertical integration (in house prototyping, die design, die making, wire EDM, stamping, and deburring) have made us the first choice for stamping by numerous world class companies.

OUR HISTORY

Diversified Tool & Die was founded in 1972 by Ernst and Rosa Wilms. Mr. Wilms immigrated to the United States in 1952 from Stuttgart Germany after serving his toolmaking apprenticeship at Robert Bosch GmbH.

Our original facility was located in Santa Ana, California. In 1982 after expanding 3 times into surrounding space, we built our own custom 12,500 sq ft facility in the Oceanside (San Diego County).

In 1995 we expanded once again into our current 33,000 sq ft location in Vista, California. The building was built from scratch design with all our process in mind. Our tooling and EDM areas have a separate foundation to reduce vibration transfer from the stamping department. Our Stamping department has an overhead crane to facilitate material handling and all presses are placed for efficient use.

Quality

Diversified Tool & die is dedicated to customer satisfaction. Our goal is to provide the highest quality while maintaining on time delivery. Diversified's detailed procedures and work instructions provide strict process control. In addition, exacting and thorough inspection at all stages of production provides quality, reliability, and ensures customer satisfaction. When required, we can supply quality plans, process flow charts, SPC and CPK studies.

Engineering

Utilizing early involvement via onsite design review and electronic file transfer, our engineering staff can determine a parts manufacturability before the prototype phase. With our in house prototyping capabilities, we can supply accurate pre-production parts which can be used for product evaluation. Finally, in house tooling design and tool manufacturing ensure tooling that will produce accurate parts for years to come.

Performance

Our experienced staff of skilled craftsmen, utilizing the latest in manufacturing technologies, consistently produce the most technically demanding dies. Parts produced at Diversified are shipped throughout the United States, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Diversified's showcase facility is modern and clean, a testament to management's dedication to excellence. We are very proud of our company and invite you to visit us personally, tour the plant, and meet the DTD team.
