A Legacy of Precision Meets Modern Manufacturing

MRG Tool & Die has been delivering custom manufacturing solutions since 1979, when it was founded by Mike Ramsey as a die shop. Now led by his son, Rodney Gramse, the company has grown into a full-service machine shop known for high-precision parts, tight tolerances, and exceptional finishes across a wide range of materials.

That level of performance demands more than just skilled craftsmanship—it requires reliable equipment and trusted guidance. With a fleet of Okuma machines and a longstanding relationship with Morris, MRG continues to meet complex production demands with consistency and confidence.

Trust, Technology, and Performance

Morris isn’t just a supplier—they’re a strategic partner. When MRG invested in an Okuma MCR-A5CII bridge mill for critical projects, it was the trusted support from Morris that gave the team confidence in their decision. The partnership ensures MRG can count on top-tier equipment, service, and solutions tailored to their evolving workload.

With no one-size-fits-all approach, MRG needs machines that perform across a wide range of jobs and materials. Morris delivers on that need, helping the shop maintain quality, tool life, and uptime—even under demanding conditions.

Staying Competitive Through Automation

As the industry shifts toward smarter, more efficient operations, automation is becoming a key driver of growth. Joel Snyder, Capitol Sales Engineer at Morris, has worked closely with MRG to introduce solutions that improve workflow, maximize spindle utilization, and reduce downtime.

This forward-thinking approach gives MRG a competitive edge—expanding capacity, reaching new customers, and adapting to future challenges without compromising quality. For MRG, partnering with Morris is about more than buying machines—it’s about building a foundation for long-term success.

The Takeaway: Partnerships Matter

The manufacturing industry is more competitive than ever, and having the right partners can mean the difference between stagnation and growth. The relationship between MRG Tool & Die and Morris is a prime example of how a strong partnership can:

  • Enhance efficiency and reliability

  • Provide confidence in major investments

  • Support business growth with tailored solutions

  • Enable adaptation to industry advancements like automation

For manufacturers navigating today’s challenges, it’s not just about buying machines—it’s about building relationships that drive success for years to come.
