PDQ is a leading-edge tool shop specializing in hydraulically-actuated machining center fixtures and custom cutting tools. Our approach at PDQ is centered on harnessing cutting-edge technologies and employing top talent to deliver unmatched value: the lowest Price, quickest Delivery, and uncompromising Quality. Founded in 2010 in Columbia City, Indiana, PDQ Workholding was established by six industry veterans. In 2014, PDQ Tooling was launched as a complementary division, specializing in custom cutting tools. Recognizing synergies, the Tooling and Workholding divisions merged in 2019 to enhance customer support and offer integrated solutions. For high-volume machining projects, fixtures and cutting tools are pivotal. PDQ excels by continually advancing fixture designs and developing time-saving custom cutting tools, even leveraging our membership in Partners in Technology to collaborate with industry peers and end users for optimal outcomes.
