Mate began 2017 by unveiling our new mission statement, which is the very essence of who we are:

To personally respect, support and inspire sheet metal professionals around the world with high-quality precision tooling and services. We have worked to fulfill our mission daily in our interactions with you, our customer, through the products we make and services we provide.

2017 also brought many exciting developments to Mate Precision Technologies. We introduced American Precision Style press brake tooling with Maglock® technology, participated in numerous trade shows around the world, and introduced an expanded, updated catalog line for punch press, press brake and laser products. Our new catalogs are brighter, easier to read and can all be found at mate.com/literature.

We launched an expanded webstore that now includes both laser optics and consumables, and press brake tooling. Customers now have the option to buy laser products and consumables, and press brake products on shop.mate.com.

Thank you for trusting Mate with your tooling needs and for reading this blog. We will continue to Respect, Support and Inspire, you and look forward to working with you in 2018.
