Founded in Cincinnati Ohio in 1967 by Harry W. and Ruth Henn, Tru-Tex is a full-service tool and die shop that serves the needs of the metal stamping industry. Harry and Ruth had humble beginnings, starting H&R Supply in the 1950s and working from the basement of their house to supply flat ground steel stock, drill bits and grinding wheels. Wanting to expand their business and break into manufacturing, a backyard shed was constructed, a milling machine and several grinders were purchased, metal stamping tooling was built, and Tru-Tex was born. Over the following years, Harry and Ruth were proud suppliers to many iconic American brands, including the Ford Mustang and the IBM Selectric. In 1968, Tru-Tex moved to its current location on Southland Road where it continued to expand.
Now in its fourth generation, Tru-Tex has evolved and grown, utilizing cutting edge technology such as CNC Machining, Wire EDM, and CNC Grinding in a modern, climate-controlled facility. As an innovative company that invests in talented people and embraces changing technology, Tru-Tex is at the forefront of utilizing industrial advancements to ensure our customers are receiving the highest quality tooling available. Tru-Tex continues to rise to the challenges facing manufacturers in an ever-evolving global landscape while remaining dedicated to the same principles it was founded on: quality products, superior performance, technical knowledge and innovative manufacturing. Precision Tooling for Modern Industry, TIC is The Mark of Quality.
