History of Integrated Tooling Solutions
​
​
Integrated Tooling Solutions was founded in May of 2000 by Carl Clair. At the time a need was determined for marketing agencies that were focused on selling cutting tools and related products, and were specialized in driving sales through applications at the end user level. In 2005 Dustin Pyykola joined ITS as partner, and in 2014 became sole owner. Since that time the company has grown to six sales engineers. In total we now have over 125 years accumulative knowledge and experience in the metal working industry. Over the years we have developed strong relationships with some of the best industrial distributors and cutting tool customers within our market region.
