Tool and die making is the height of machining skill, it takes a very good machinist, the right machine, and the right environment. This story doesn't seem unreasonable.
- taivare 10y agoCleveland Oh. was the tool & die capitol of the world those jobs started to leave in the 80's and NAFTA and the Great Recession took the rest especially the small ones in Western Pa. As for Molex the Koch's bought them in 2013 but, I haven't followed where or what they have done with Molex. I have used Molex machines in production they were so well made. When I was a kid Cleveland made everything I remember the pride I felt seeing a dump truck the size of 2 houses ( Euc) roll out of the factory back then. It wasn't my fathers generation Silent (Korea) that sent those jobs out of the country it was the generation that followed them !
