Carr Tool History What do high-quality cutting tools and root beer have in common? Well, in our case, it was a shared location. Carr Tool Company, founded in 1958 by Charles M. Carr, found its first home at 3810 Hires Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio. The 5,000-square-foot facility was at one time a bottling plant for Hires Root Beer. From the beginning Charles Carr worked hard to establish a proven reputation based on the quality of the company's products and services. With his ideals and philosophies providing a solid foundation for our relationships with customers, Carr Tool's sales have continued to grow. Carr Tool's products have always been custom-engineered to meet the unique specifications—and occasionally less-than-ideal machining conditions—of the end user. To accomplish this, it often became necessary to design tooling around the process. Thus we learned to build upon and improve tolerances to meet our customers' changing requirements. The capability of our experienced design and service engineers to handle these customers' needs have grown along with the size of our company and the demand for our products.
Recognizing the need of our customers to record and standardize their own manufacturing processes, Carr Tool established an internal, documented quality program in 1987. By meeting the requirements set forth by many automotive and aerospace companies, we became a Ford Motor Q-101 supplier, GM Targets for Excellence supplier, GE Aircraft Engines Supplier of Excellence, and Borg-Warner Qualified Supplier, among many others. And, in 1997, Carr Tool became an ISO 9001 certified company, an internationally recognized certification of adherence to stringent quality standards. In October 1999, Carr Tool relocated all operations into a new, state-of-the-art 23,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that is easily reached from all major interstates. Our new location was designed specifically to accommodate the addition of another 17,000 square-feet as our business continues to grow. All design, engineering, manufacturing and support services are based from this facility located at 2080 Northwest Drive, in the Mount Healthy suburb of Cincinnati. Stop by and see us, we'd be proud to show you around.
