about odm tool

Boldly Innovating Custom Metal Stamping Since 1946

Otto D. Michaelsen started a small tool and die shop in a Chicago suburb more than 70 years ago. Throughout time, ODM continued to innovate, try new technologies and develop processes that catapulted ODM to become a leader in precision custom metal stamping. As the company, and technology evolved, Michaelsen and his team led the way in stamping parts for some of the newest and advanced products of their time. From parts for one of the first color TV models to the Tesla today, ODM always looks to the future.
