2. ISO 9001 : 2008 Overview Founded in 1962, Weber Manufacturing Technologies Inc. is a leading manufacturer of precision tooling for Automotive, Aerospace, and Home/Building Products. Located in Midland, Ontario, Weber is a privately held Canadian company. Weber offers high quality tooling in steel, invar and aluminum, and precision CNC machined aluminum parts. Over the last 20 years, Weber has offered nickel shell tooling using the Nickel Vapor Deposition (NVD) process. This process is also used for capturing fine surface detail, such as leather and wood grains, and authentically replicating them into hard tools. 140 employees, 135,000 sq. ft. facility Certified ISO 9001:2008 On-site CAD Design capable (UG NX, CATIA V5R20) Modern simultaneous 5-Axis CNC machining centers Full complement of CNC contour mills, gun-drills, vertical mills, and EDM machines Canadian Controlled Goods Program registered (Satisfies US-ITAR requirement) 3.
