The history of Ajacs Die Sales Corporation makes a good story about the successes and growth of an American family business. Three generations of the Wierenga family have helped build the company, from Jack Wierenga, who purchased the small die set manufacturer in 1964, to Bob Wierenga, and now to his sons. But within the story lie the themes that make Ajacs what it is: a company focused on qualit
y, customer service and running a smart business. Even in the 60s, as a die set manufacturer, the company was responding to customer needs, adding many new product lines for distribution, from springs, pins and bushings to pad retainer spools. Ajacs’ roots in manufacturing also served as the foundation for the company's strong understanding of parts and quality. In 1968, the die set manufacturing segment was sold to a local steel supply company. With a new focus and a new name—Ajacs Die Sales Corporation—the company soon moved into the city of Grand Rapids. From its very roots, Ajacs has built a foundational understanding of the tool and die industry. With 25 employees, many who have over 20 years experience, we are able to provide more than parts. We pride ourselves on backing up products with the kind of service, expertise and training that helps assure the success of our customers. That's been our mission for nearly 40 years—we're not about to change it now.
