Eastern Tool Steel Service recently celebrated their 50-year anniversary, since introducing PM tool steels to the regions manufacturers, with a gathering of family, friends, Chamber of Commerce representatives and ZAPP Tooling Alloys executives from across the US.
ZAPP Tooling Alloys formally announced, during the celebration, its alignment with ETSS as the regions stocking distributor for their Z-series line of high-performance PM tool steel grades, which are industry proven to improve tool life and wear resistance, addressing the evolving needs of manufacturers. This alignment is consistent with ETSS's history and mission of providing the highest performing and readily available materials to its customers, enhancing their business' performance, as well.
We are excited that ZAPP, celebrating 325-years in business themselves, has chosen ETSS as a major player in their own business growth and ours. Increased stock levels, ensuring the grade and size requirements needed by customers, has been on-going and will continue in order to provide the shortest lead-times and in many cases next day delivery to our customer base.
