Who We Are

At PTSolutions, everything begins with metalworking. It’s the foundation of our expertise and the core of our identity. From cutting tools and workholding to machine fluids and process optimization, we support the precision, performance, and productivity manufacturers depend on every day.

 

From that foundation, we’ve built a comprehensive industrial offering that extends across welding, safety, abrasives, metrology, inventory management, and procurement solutions. That has allowed us to support the full scope of your operation, not just a single department. Our strength lies in how we integrate these capabilities.

 

By combining technical specialization, nationwide coverage, and a robust supply network, PTSolutions delivers structured, scalable support that grows alongside your business.

Our Legacy

Built on Grit. Grown Through Innovation.

PTSolutions was founded in 1951 by Dan Kahn as Production Tool Supply. What began as a single storefront with three employees quickly grew into a trusted resource for manufacturers across Michigan.

 

By 1976, the company had expanded enough to open its headquarters in Warren, Michigan, marking the beginning of a nationwide growth trajectory that continues today.

 

From those early days to now, our evolution has always been driven by one thing: supporting the people who keep industry moving.
