American Tool & Engineering, Inc.

For more than 33 years, leading North American manufacturers have trusted American Tool & Engineering (ATE) to engineer and manufacture high-performance aluminum molds for demanding production environments. ATE is a full-service mold maker specializing in tooling for: Blow molding Thermoforming Pressure forming Vacuum forming Twin-sheet forming Our extensive in-house machining capabilities allow us to manufacture large, complex molds with exceptional accuracy and surface quality. With CNC milling capacity up to 86 × 160 × 38 inches, 5-axis machining, CNC, and deep-hole gun drilling up to 96 inches, we can produce everything from large single-cavity molds to intricate twin-sheet tooling with undercuts, mechanical lifters, internal cooling circuits, and vacuum systems. Our aluminum molds are engineered to deliver consistent forming performance, efficient thermal control, premium surface finishes, and long production life. We support customers across medical packaging, aerospace interiors, automotive components, industrial products, and other applications where tooling performance and part quality cannot be compromised. ATE is more than a machining supplier. We work closely with customers from design review through mold construction, assembly, tryout, modification, and production support. When challenges arise on the production floor, our team stays involved until the tooling produces the quality parts and dependable cycle performance our customers expect.
