Midvest and Cutlery began operations in 1945 in Sturgis, Michigan, producing metal cutting shears and hand tools. Initially, Midvest quickly gained a respected position in the industry by manufacturing high-quality, private-label cutting tools for many well-known professional brands. Thanks to its commitment to uncompromising quality, the company soon became a trusted brand both in the United States and in international markets.
Today, Midvest maintains its leading position in the metalworking and hand tools industry with a wide range of products manufactured under its own name. All products are meticulously produced in its modern facilities in the United States, with strict quality control standards applied at every stage.
The success of Midvest is driven by its innovative approach and commitment to continuous improvement. The company holds numerous products, designs, and patents aimed at enhancing performance in metal cutting and hand tools. This allows it to offer users not only durability but also ergonomics and superior performance.
Today, Midvest has become a symbol of trust for professional users, industrial companies, and individual craftsmen. Combining durability, precision, and technology in its products, the company continues to lead the metalworking industry with over 80 years of established expertise.
By combining “American manufacturing quality” with “innovative engineering,” Midvest has become a globally preferred brand in the metal cutting and hand tools industry.
