Thank You for Your Business

Holiday Greetings

As 2011 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you for your business this past year. In a year when the economy still feels unstable and business can be unpredictable, it takes courage to move forward when everything else urges you to stand still. I applaud that effort and thank you for your loyalty to Wilson Tool through it all.

Our commitment has always been to help our customers be the most successful fabricators in the world, and we understand that this commitment is important now more than ever. Throughout 2011, we at Wilson Tool have been reducing lead times on current product lines while creating new, innovative tooling that meets our high standard for quality. The ultimate goal of these efforts is to help you realize visible improvements in your manufacturing operations.

We maintain optimism that this next year will be a strong and productive year for all of our customers across the globe. Thank you again and have a wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,

Brian Robinson, CEO
Wilson Tool International

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Metric Headed Tooling from Impax Tooling Solutions®

Metric Headed Tooling

We offer a full selection of headed tooling in metric sizes, including standard shapes, round up forms and special 2D shapes. We also offer the widest selection of special shapes available anywhere. Like their counterparts, all metric headed Impax tooling is manufactured with our state-of-the-art CNC process using high-speed M4 steel standard on every punch and M2 steel standard on every die.

All Impax punches are available with our exclusive Optima coating, which increases hits between sharpening and multiplies tool life by up to 10 times that of non-coated tooling. Additional coatings and finishes are also available to help stampers achieve higher levels of performance.

The metric headed line of tooling from Impax Tooling Solutions is the most consistent, highest quality line of metric headed tooling available. Talk to your local sales engineer or call our sales desk at 800.944.4671 and order yours today.

THE FACES OF WILSON TOOL
Jeremy Edson, Impax Inside Sales

Metric Headed ToolingYears at Wilson Tool: 16

What is your favorite aspect of your job?
Having the opportunity to get to know many different people. Working with such a diverse group here in Impax and getting to know the individual customers we talk to on a daily basis is what makes this job special.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with the family. We like to go camping, fishing, canoeing and mountain biking. Basically doing anything outdoors is worth the time, especially with family and friends.

What is something that people would be surprised to learn about you?
I am not embarrassed to randomly break out in song. You would think I would be a good singer, but in reality it is the complete opposite. But it is still fun to elicit a response to my great vocal skills.

If you had to eat only one food item for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Beau Jo's Pizza. I could say the reason for pizza is that the food groups can be basically covered by eating pizza, but the real reason is you just can't beat a nice slice of a Beau Jo's Mountain Pie.

Where is the most interesting place you have been? Why?
Moab, Utah. Moab is a great place to mountain bike and has wonderful scenic views on the Colorado River and in Arches National Park.
