Whitney Tool Company (Bedford, IN) is celebrating its 40th anniversary as a premier manufacturer of industrial cutting tools. The public and the company?s customers, suppliers and sales force are invited to tour the plant and view demonstrations of the manufacturing process during an open house at the plant on Sept. 16.
Whitney Tool has operated as a family-owned business since it was founded in September 1970 by Wilfred ?Whitey? Rytkonen. After Mr. Rytkonen?s death in 1984, his daughters Linda Flynn, Sandi Hudson and Geri Espy continued the company?s commitment to its employees and to maintaining and growing Whitney Tool as a strong local business in south-central Indiana.
Today the company is recognized as a leading manufacturer of Woodruff style slotting and keyseat milling cutters, as well as counterbores, counterbore pilots, T-Slot, dovetail and other specialty milling cutters, along with combined drills and countersinks. As its standard product line continues to grow in response to customer needsfor fast delivery on top quality cutters, the company continues to manufacture custom-made shank type and arbor type milling cutters for high speed steel, cobalt and carbide tipped applications. They do our own heat treating to ensure maximum control over the quality and scheduling of their cutters.
