About Us

Our History

Service Tool traces its origins to humble beginnings in our founder’s garage. Originally, Richard Fruit handled contract machining jobs with just a couple lathes and mills. The skill this work was completed with allowed Service Tool to earn more business and to begin expanding our operations in tandem with our customer base. This expansion led to our outgrowing the garage we originated in and moving to our current Henderson, KY facility in 1969. Our growth required more floor space and more advanced equipment, which we continue to invest in to provide our customers with the quality work they expect from Service Tool.

One thing that has allowed Service Tool to become a well-regarded tool and die shop is the fact that we are still family owned. Today our founder’s son Dwight serves as President of Service Tool & Die. Remaining family owned and operated has helped to ensure that the quality of our work and the investment in our team, equipment, and facility are never sacrificed. We work hard each day to both honor and build upon the legacy of our family-owned tool and die shop and look forward to putting our skills to work on your next job.

If you want to learn specifics about our equipment and tool and die service solutions, we make this information readily available on our website. We welcome the chance to quote your next tool and die related job and look forward to reviewing your drawings or even helping you with the design work.
