Whether your shop is in Minnesota, California, Texas, or Upstate New York, you deserve a tooling partner you can trust.

NTM works with a nationwide network of carefully selected distributor partners who provide local expertise backed by nearly 50 years of manufacturing experience.

When you work with an NTM distributor, you're not just buying a product. You're working with someone who understands your industry, values your time, and can help you find the right tooling for the job.

That's the value of a trusted partnership.

Choosing tooling shouldn't mean spending hours searching through catalogs or coordinating orders from multiple suppliers.

That's where a trusted distributor adds value.

Distributor partners help manufacturers save time by understanding the products they carry, recommending the right solutions for the application, and bringing together complementary product lines in one place.

Our online Distributor Locator makes it easy to connect with an NTM distributor who can help you find the products your shop needs.

For nearly 50 years, NTM has proudly called Fridley, Minnesota home. Today, we're honored to support manufacturers across the country through a trusted network of distributor partners.

But what exactly does a distributor do, and why does it matter?

A great distributor does more than supply tooling. They understand the manufacturers they serve, recommend the right solutions for the application, and help shops save time by bringing trusted product lines together under one roof. That's why we've invested in distributor relationships for more than 30 years and why we're intentional about the partners who represent NTM.

In our latest blog, we explore the value of these partnerships, how they benefit manufacturers, and why we're committed to working with distributors who share our dedication to quality, service, and long-term relationships.

Some of NTM's distributor relationships have spanned decades.

That longevity reflects something bigger than a business agreement. It reflects trust.
We choose to work with distributors who understand manufacturing, know the products they represent, and are committed to helping customers find the right solution for the job.

Our distributor partners become an extension of the NTM team, bringing local knowledge and responsive service to manufacturers across the country.
Together, we've spent decades helping shops stay productive, competitive, and prepared for what's next.

In manufacturing, a tool earns its reputation one successful job at a time.

For years, machinists have asked for Stubby® by name because they've experienced the difference firsthand. The patented chisel-cut "V" braze joint, shorter shank, and reduced flute length create a more rigid boring bar that helps minimize chatter, improve stability, and extend insert life.

When a tool performs consistently, people remember it.

That's how Stubby® built its reputation: through results on the shop floor.

If your local distributor doesn't currently carry Stubby® Boring Bars, ask for them by name.

Great distributors do more than supply tooling. They understand the manufacturers they serve.

Our distributors know their local industries, the demands of the shop floor, and the importance of keeping production moving.

That's why NTM has invested in distributor partnerships for more than 30 years.

While our team designs and manufactures products in Minneapolis, our distributor partners provide local support backed by nearly 50 years of NTM manufacturing expertise.

For our customers, that means the best of both worlds: the personalized service of a local partner and the confidence of working with a manufacturer that has been solving machining challenges since 1976.
