Company History

History of excellence & integrity.

Continuous Improvement Cycle Graphic

Founded in 1970

When Al Menzies Sr. established Standard Die over 50 years ago, his plan was simple: stand out from the competition. As the first metal stamper to the industrial diamond industry, he was unwilling to compromise his values. He made sure integrity, customer service and quality were integrated into every aspect of the business and, as a result, designed and manufactured some of the world’s finest products for the industrial diamond industry.

Our Mission:
“To make the purchasing of metal stampings painless.”

Standard Die International 50 Year Anniversary

By pursuing this mission for more than five decades, we have grown from a start-up tool and die operation to a world-class metal stamping company. With more than a billion parts delivered, we have provided precision drawing and stamping services to customers spanning the industrial diamond, automotive, aircraft, electrical and medical industries across the globe.

Today, Al’s sons Al Jr. and Doug stay true to the same principles their dad established years ago. Standard Die remains a family-owned and operated company and at every level, employees are valued and respected for their contribution to the effort. The whole team puts our customers first and is uncompromising in the quality of products we produce. We look forward to serving you with this passion, commitment, and personal touch.
