Battery Manufacturing

As the demand for battery-powered electric vehicles (EV), electronics, and medical devices continues to grow, we recognize the need for quality, reliable, die cut battery components. Our team has been working diligently to develop cutting-edge die cut and stamping tools to meet the demand of this eco-friendly market. Whether you are looking to cut gaskets, mitigate thermal runaway, or produce anode and cathode parts, our team is ready to support you.

With an industry focus on creating batteries that are safer and more efficient in energy storage, we are committed to servicing our clients with excellence as they manufacture lithium-ion batteries. We have made advances in die cutting technology to provide cost-effective ways to meet the increasing demand for anode and cathode parts, including providing our customers with both engineering and converting support.

Our tools are designed to deliver exceptional performance, durability, and consistency needed in battery manufacturing. These production advancements are paving the way for the widespread adoption of EV and renewable energy storage systems.

Printed Flexible, Flex-Rigid, and Multilayer Electronic Circuit Manufacturing

This is a rapidly advancing and demanding industry. The two most important aspects of building steel rule dies for the Electronic Circuit Board industry has been speed and accuracy. We have the quality systems in place to certify our tooling along with the expertise and manufacturing controls required to manage the highly demanding tolerances. The Printed Circuit industry is a very good fit for us.

Our biggest accomplishment has been bridging the gap between class A hard tooling and steel rule dies by introducing the Hybrid Insert Die. You now have several alternatives to spending tens of thousands on hard tooling….and still meet critical tolerance expectations.

Automation Solutions

Custom automated manufacturing solutions are produced every day by automation equipment manufacturers for new product lines and improving manufacturing capabilities and efficiencies of existing products. We provide design, engineering and manufacturing support for die cutting & stamping equipment and tooling used within the automated manufacturing systems. We also produce turnkey die cutting and stamping equipment to support your production needs.

Membrane Switch Manufacturing

We have been building Steel Rule Die tooling for Membrane Switch Manufacturers for more than three decades. We do it well because we employ Engineers that understand the substrates being used in the manufacture of the membrane switch as well as the function and the design limitations of this product. We are confident that our steel rule die expertise in this product field will be of tremendous value and not easily found within other steel rule die companies.

Digital & Screen Printing

At Mathias Die, we pride ourselves in understanding that the finished shape and quality of your finished parts are a primary element in garnering the attention of your customers. We engineer dies to cut finished parts flat, free of compression denting, with non-beveled edges, and most importantly that meet your print tolerance requirements. We also know the importance of well documented press set-up and die cutting processes for producing printed parts. We can support you with die cutting production or with training your team on best practices through our Tooling & Converting Workshop to help ensure you are supplying your customers with the best die cut products.

Gasket and Filter Fabricators

Gaskets are the glue that keeps our combustion and non-combustion engines together, functioning and free of leaks. They are an immensely important aspect of performance for many of the products produced within the automotive, medical device, and aerospace industries. We understand the responsibility that accompanies building quality steel rule dies that die cut gaskets to print specifications. You need to investigate a relationship with MDC…experts in steel rule die making.

Label Industry

Back in 1991 we recognized the opportunity to become the best quality supplier of this makeready-less specialty kiss cutting die. The introduction of low profile in-line multi-station screen printing and die cutting systems demanded that we understand the process for constructing these floating precision steel rule dies. We have mastered the craft and we can turn these dies in just a few business days. Precision steel rule dies, think Mathias Die.

Nameplate and Overlay Industry

We really enjoy this industry because we are one of the very few steel rule die manufacturers that will take on aluminum with a steel rule die. We are successfully building dies that are cutting aluminum up to .040″ thick. These range from the very small product ID plates to the large point of purchase displays.

We have also developed a low profile male/female Piercing tool that acts as a hard tool and runs on a clam style or punch press and allows for stamping and clearing internal cutouts from multiple up sheets at one time. The largest tool we have successfully manufactured was used to pierce 70 holes per cycle from a 22″ x 24″ sheet. It is an ideal tooling technology for both aluminum and thicker poly sheet substrates. Expect top-flight quality and service from our steel rule dies.
