Our story
The plant has grown four times since 1970. The address has not changed.
The company was founded as a partnership. The small die shop designed and built tooling for the automotive, hardware and appliance industries in the Jamestown and Buffalo, New York areas.
Arro Tool & Die incorporated and continued to supply tooling to the major industries in western New York.
The company built a new 16,000 square foot facility on ten acres in Lakewood, New York, and added a stamping operation.
The facility grew to 20,000 square feet to make space for the stamping operation and more press room equipment.
Another 3,000 square feet to keep up with the stamping operation.
Another 2,000 square feet to house a new 600 ton press, the largest in the plant.
The Bauer family acquired Arro Tool & Die, Inc. and changed the name to Arro Manufacturing to better reflect the company's direction and services.
An IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified plant of 25,000 square feet, with a more diverse customer base than ever.
