Company Profile
Founded in 1951 as the John Skach Tool Co., Metal Ceramics has evolved into a full line services company providing the combined services of design, engineering, tooling, and production of powdered metal components for a broad range of industries.  Metal Ceramics serves most manufacturing groups from automotive to consumer product to industrial.  John Skach was one of the early innovators in the Midwest in powdered metal tooling, and received many awards for innovative parts including "Powdered Metal Part of the Year."

Although our focus is largely as an engineering company, we believe this does an extraordinary job preparing us to address the common parts we do from day to day.   We pride ourselves on innovative, early product life cycle design ideas that focus on cost reduction and performance improvement.
