Closing Thoughts from the Team
Vettleson: “We are pretty excit- ed about the opportunity to work with some newer customers, and even places outside of our com- fort zone. I also think we are well positioned to move forward with some new developments. We are excited about working with BB Industries in the future, and we are working to be a supplier for them and to get their sales and development staff familiar with what we are capable of, and what Coldspring as a company is all about. We look forward to that partnership as we move forward into the future.”
Massmann: “We are always developing tooling and have a wide range of standard tooling solutions, but if a customer calls and they’ve got a different ap- plication, we don’t look at it as simply designing a tool. We are designing a tool solution for their operation life.

Coldspring’s in-house drafting department can create a precise tool for your specialized needs. They can develop tooling from a hand-drawn sketch or a phone conversation.
tool sale – it’s about how we help them develop their process. One that’s more productive, with fast- er lead times, and higher quality. Really, whatever the goal is, our door is open.
“In addition to building tools, the bigger part of our business is pro- cessing stone and other materials. We have the benefit of operating one of the largest stone facilities in the world, and have the opportunity
to share our expertise. We have an in-house team of people who are doing the same jobs that our cus- tomers do all day long. We might be able to help with why their saw isn’t performing, or why their pro- gram isn’t working the way they want it to. So we do leverage the expertise of our stone processing facility to help our customers. Maybe our competition doesn’t have that expertise. I certainly have been in the field visiting with customers who were having prob- lems, and I’ll call (Coldspring), and not the tooling department, but the shop floor in the plant. I’ll lay out the issue to our team and get answers to help our customers
with their problem. That’s very unique for a tooling company–to have that (expertise) to lean on.”
It might be fair to say that Coldspring’s consultative ap- proach is one of their biggest as- sets, and leads to the fact that when they specify a tool, it’s done by tru- ly consulting with customers about what their goals are, and what tool is needed for them to be the most effective.

Coldspring’s consultative approach to manufactur- ing custom tooling is one of their biggest assets. When they specify a tool, it’s done by truly consult- ing with customers about what their goals are, and what tool is needed for them to be the most effective.
