Cline Tool Customs™ Delivers Custom Engineered Tooling Solutions
[West Chester, OH, 3/1/26] – AFC Industries today announced the launch of Cline Tool Customs™, a refined brand focused on delivering custom engineered tooling solutions designed to solve complex manufacturing challenges with precision and speed.
Cline Tool Customs builds on the former Cline Tool’s long-standing reputation for technical expertise, application knowledge, and hands-on service. The new brand formalizes and sharpens the company’s custom capabilities, providing manufacturers with tailored tooling solutions that improve cycle times, increase consistency, and reduce operational risk.
“Cline Tool Customs represents the next evolution of our commitment to customers who require more than off-the-shelf solutions,” said Joe Shoemaker, Vice President of Marketing, AFC Industries. “Manufacturers today are under pressure to do more with less. Custom tooling, engineered correctly, can unlock productivity gains that standard products simply cannot deliver.

Cline Tool Customs offers engineered tooling solutions across a broad range of applications, including specialty cutting tools, modified standard tooling, and fully custom-designed components developed in collaboration with customer engineering teams. The brand emphasizes close partnership, technical consultation, and measurable performance improvements.
“Our customers come to us when precision matters and downtime isn’t an option,” said Jason Benson, Managing Director of Cline Tool Customs. “Cline Tool Customs allows us to go deeper into the application, understand the process at a detailed level, and deliver tooling solutions built specifically for the job. It’s about performance, reliability, and supporting our customers’ success on the production floor.”
