AKRO Tool Company was founded in 1960 by Ralph Snider as a custom metal fabrication and machine job shop. In 1984, Ken Johnson, Ralph's son-in-law, took the helm, continuing to grow the business with OEM and MRO customers throughout the Midwest. In 2012, Richard Deffren purchased 52 year old AKRO Tool Co Inc. adding CNC machine services, including CNC repair, systems upgrading, installation and relocation. AKRO Tool Company is headquartered in an 11,500 sq. ft. facility, and is one of the largest independent machine shops in Cincinnati. We assist in prototype development, "one-off" projects and limited production runs. We can handle a wide variety of CNC machining requirements, as well as reverse engineering, specialty tooling, workholding jigs and fixtures, custom weldments and frame works. Need professional machinery installation, service or repair? AKRO's parent company, Deffren Machine Tool Services Inc. provides expert machinery installation and relocation, calibration and alignment, as well as CNC service and CNC repair for profilers, horizontal and vertical machines, and skin mills.

Diagnosing issues when equipment is down can be challenging and frustrating. Our experienced technicians are well equipped to facilitate the diagnostic process. Simple problems may be diagnosed over the phone, while complicated situations often require a technician on site to work over the equipment and inspect multiple components for the damage or malfunction. Once the damage has been assessed, a restoration plan is proposed.

Since our founding in 2003, we have successfully completed over 350 CNC retrofit and rebuild projects across virtually every type of machine tool. We provide service throughout the continental United States, offering Fanuc, Siemens, and NUM control systems to meet your specific requirements.
