The Start of Stellar – Tooled in Tradition
Stellar Mold & Tool was founded in 1978, when five toolmakers with a shared vision and shared goal, to uphold the tradition of tooling, along with a commitment to bring excellence and precision to injection molding companies opened for business. They believed they could change the industry…and they have.
This idea then, and still perhaps even more today, are the roots of the commitment to bring precision – in tooling, project planning, quoting, design and customer service- to the injection molding industry. The belief was there needed to be a better way to serve the industry and create customer relationships that centered on the belief that “Precision” in all aspects would make the difference…and it has.
Were We Are Today – Committed to Precision
Today the history burns even brighter with an even bigger commitment to precision in all aspects of the business. In 2020, Stellar Mold & Tool was acquired by Jason Lawton, owner and CEO of C&C Machine in La Crosse, WI. As a Wisconsin native and CEO of C&C Machine, Jason already knew the value of precision work, customer satisfaction and fair pricing. He was excited to join Stellar Mold & Tool and add his commitment to a highly talented team.
Throughout this process Stellar has maintained many of the key team members, as well as expanding and adding additional resources, in both equipment and personnel. Stellar has invested over $2 Million dollars in infrastructure in recent years which has dramatically increased the capacities in the Mills, EDM Sinkers and EDM Wire departments. With a renewed desire to see Stellar Mold & Tool serve the industry, the team remains deeply committed and focused on precision in all aspects of the customer work.
Stellar Mold & Tool has grown and continues to grow. Today the talented team of professional Moldmakers, Mold Designers, Machinists, and Tool and Die Makers work relentlessly to bring the industry the very best in complex mold design and mold repair.
The production facility located in Galesville, WI has grown into a 20,000 square foot, technologically advanced facility, with capabilities to produce small, single cavity M.U.D. inserts to complex high-cavitation molds with multiple complex action and the ability to accommodate injection presses from 50 – 1500 tons. All of this in conjunction with machining, Wire EDM, Sinker EDM and Micro Tig and Laser welding, and backed with a highly experienced team of professionals who recognize each mold must hit your objective and be designed for manufacturing.
Today, Stellar Mold & Tool provides some of the most robust capabilities in the upper Midwest. The commitment to precision – in all aspects of their customer objectives – will continue to lead the industry in producing the best in plastic injection molds.
