Induction Tooling, Inc. began as an idea in 1975. William Stuehr, now President and CEO of the Corporation was working as a process design engineer with a local heat treating company. Several customers requested and solicited tooling specific to their internal heat treat needs. Bill’s boss rejected the idea to build tooling: hence, a ready made business was in the waiting. Bill started his company in his parents’ garage. In 1979 he moved the business to a small rented facility in North Royalton, Ohio. By 1984 with 10 employees, Bill purchased the present location. In 1994, the space was doubled to 14,000 square feet. In 2004 Bill purchased 5 acres in Phase II of the North Royalton Industrial Park. On April 7, 2005, Bill along with his 27 employees celebrated the groundbreaking of a modern 25,000 square foot facility to be completed in October 2005.
