MTD Micro Molding Celebrates 50 Years of Business

MTD Micro Molding, a company that focuses on medical micro molding, has been in business for 50 years. MTD helps medical OEMs produce small, highly complex medical device breakthroughs.

The company offers both micro tooling and micro molding in-house, which enables customers to get micro components to market faster.

According to MTD, it was the first in North America to purchase and customize equipment like the Sarix EDM milling machine and Mitsubishi MX600 oil wire EDM machine, enabling the efficient production of micro medical designs that were thought impossible to manufacture. Additionally, it was the first in its industry to hire a full-time R&D engineer devoted to exploring the capabilities of micro molding materials. Additionally, 10% of MTD’s annual revenue is invested in these internal R&D projects.

Under Dennis Tully, who took over the company when his father retired in 2008, MTD has more than doubled its workforce and achieved significant growth, twice placing MTD on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list. In 2018, MTD was named the Plastics News “Processor of the Year,” becoming the smallest company to win the title in its 22 years. MTD was also recognized as Plastics News’ “Best Places to Work in Plastics” for four consecutive years. Dennis Tully, who unexpectedly passed away in 2019, was posthumously inducted into the Plastics Hall of Fame, a distinctive honor bestowed on individuals from around the world who shaped the direction and future of the plastics industry.

This growth spurred a building expansion in 2021, which enabled MTD to further increase medical manufacturing capacity and add new services, including custom assembly and packaging solutions. MTD’s plastics engineers and micro medical experts will continue partnering with OEMs going forward.
