S Phelinger Tool & Die LLC, 1254 Town Line Rd, Alden, NY 14004, US

Alry Tool & Die was founded in 1944. The company was originally a die-making facility located in a garage on Cherry Street in Buffalo, N.Y. A new Alry was born in a 3,500-square-foot building on four acres of land in Tonawanda, N.Y., in January 1955. Later, the original building was expanded by 12,320 square feet with the addition of expanded forging, die-making and shipping space. Focusing on a new direction, the second generation of ownership has added another 5,040 square feet, bringing the total to 20,860 square feet. This dedication has resulted in die production to manufacture approximately 1.5 million forgings per year for industries in defense, robotics, aircraft, marine, commercial and hand tools. As the current owners prepare for the future, the third generation is being trained and educated to carry Alry through the 21st century. Alry currently employs 32 individuals and generates sales of approximately $3 million per year.
