The J.O. Wolf Tool & Die Company recently celebrated the conclusion of an investment in its business. The company employs approximately 10 people, having recently invested over $200,000 in equipment supported by nearly $100,000 additional payroll dollars. The newly purchased equipment, now fully operational at the facility, allowed the company the capacity to retain seven existing jobs while adding opportunities for three new employees. The average hourly wage in the plant is $15 per hour.

The firm specializes in the design and building of molds, dies, jigs and fixtures for the automotive, electronics and consumer product industries. The company also performs low-volume precision production as a secondary operation to molded plastic parts and castings manufacturers.

J.O. Wolf Tool & Die, a second-generation family-owned, locally based company, has been in business since 1982. Keith Miller and his stepfather, the late J.O.  Wolf founded the company in a small shop and is now in a 16,000 square foot facility, located at 550 Condit St., Huntington.

The Huntington County Commissioners offered a performance-based grant funded by the County Economic Development Income Tax (CEDIT) in the amount of $15,000 in lieu of tax abatement or any other incentives. The project was facilitated collaboratively by the Huntington County Economic Development Corporation and the County Commissioners.
