Founded in 1946 as Dayton Tool and Die Works, Dayton tooled up much of the then-emerging New York Hollow Metal Industry. Eventually the focus was placed on producing parts, rather than tools. So much so that by the early 80’s a wide range of parts was catalogued.

Achieving ISO 9001:2000 status in 2003, Dayton Industries now supplies catalog as well as proprietary products to Hollow Metal Manufacturers around the world.
