“Manufacturing in the Toledo area has exploded in the last 5 to 6 years, shops have been extremely busy, increasing employment, working overtime, increasing pay, investing in state of the art equipment and technology, and making their shops clean, bright and safe. People in manufacturing have traditionally been passionate about giving back to the industry, that couldn’t be more true about the Toledo region. Company owners are constantly involved in the community and reinvesting time and money into high school programs, STEM programs, robotic programs, training new/young apprentices to become journeymen.” - Mike Pasch, Quality Tool Company
The manufacturing company also provides assembling capabilities. They have equipment for welding, staking and riveting which adds value for their automotive customers, allowing them to create latches, shift arms, 4wd shifters, hood hinge assemblies and components. The leadership team is committed to providing the highest standard of quality to all of their clients. The company is ISO 9001-2015 certified, which is an internationally recognized Quality Management system.
The team at Quality Tool is committed to helping build the future workforce in the Toledo Region. Mike Pasch, sales/production supervisor at the company is the third generation on the leadership team at the company. He participates in many career outreach programs with Toledo Public Schools. The company also promotes an in-house apprenticeship program to help develop those interested in skilled trades. They believe in honing quality skills and several of their employees have been with them for their entire career.
“The Toledo area schools and training centers have recognized the need and demand for skilled trades jobs and have taken their machine shop programs to new levels," says Mike. "What once were programs on the brink and even being cut in some schools are now full and even have waiting list. They are creating new opportunities and careers for students who otherwise would not have any direction.”
The company recognizes the importance of community involvement. Mike sits on the Toledo Area Small Business Association Board and is president of the NTMA-Western Lake Erie Chapter. The company is also part of the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce and the University of Toledo Center for Family Business.
