RTE St. Charles, Inc.

---

Our quality policy is to provide 100% customer satisfaction and to continually look for ways to improve both our products and our customer relationships.

RTE St. Charles, Inc. is a fourth-generation, family owned and operated business, founded in 1956.  Though our name has changed over the years as generations have retired (originally Almgren Tool, then Ray Tool & Engineering, and now RTE St. Charles), our long-standing reputation for providing quality carbide and steel products at competitive prices remains the same.  Our company has expanded services over the years to achieve total capability in tool and die manufacturing, including design and engineering.  We provide true third-party inspection, and all equipment used in our inspection room is certified to ISO/IEC Guide 17025 standards.

Our 20,000 square foot facility is fully climate controlled, providing a stable environment for material to ensure precision in manufacturing.

Averaging twenty years of service with us, most of our employees initiated their apprenticeships with us.

RTE St. Charles has a fully equipped metrology department, staffed with a full-time inspector.  All of our inspection equipment is checked and certified on a regular basis.  All tooling produced is 100% inspected and certified to customer prints.  Each detail is fully traceable throughout the manufacturing process.  Inspection reports can be provided upon request.
