History :

In 1967, California Tool Grinding was born out of a little metal structure in a suburb of Sacramento, California and 3 employees — the owners themselves. Nothing but a local job shop that focused on resharpening, modification work and some mill and lathe work the company flourished by the hand of the aerospace industry. With retirement not far off, the original owners were looking to sell. In 1984 California Tool Grinding's future was now in the hands of forward thinking, entrepreneur Daryl Van Dyke. In the years that followed, Daryl and his wife, Eleanor, grew the business adding more employees and expanding their customer base. Perceiving changes ahead in the aerospace industry, Daryl knew that he must make some changes if the company was to survive. With diligence, research, long hours and hard work California Tool Grinding (CTG) had found its niche. In 1991 CTG introduced Premium Solid Carbide Roughing End Mills — also known as CTG's new line "PROMAX." The company survived the incredible downsizing in the aerospace industry thanks mainly to the new line. As time progressed CTG began phasing out its resharpening, modification, milling and lathe work and focused on PROMAX. This new line took the industry by storm prompting yet another change for the company. In 1992 Daryl and Eleanor Van Dyke changed CTG to PROMAX Tools. This was not just a name change, but an attitude change for the company.
