“When the opportunity arose to add the Harig stamping business to our company, we recognized this as an opportunity to expand our commitment to our core manufacturing business, to carry forward their commitment to their customers and to bring this expanded capability to all of our valued customers,” stated Patrick Steininger, the president of Sko-Die, when making the announcement. “This will also enable us to expand and diversify the manufacturing industry segments that we currently serve.
