Profile

Pyramid Tool & Die Co. was formed in June 1984 by brothers Eddie and Paul O'Brien. The company provides a complete design and manufacturing service to the plastics, polyurethane and rubber moulding industries.

Initially the workforce comprised of just the two directors operating at a small factory unit at Martland Mill Industrial Estate, Wigan. By 1986, seven people were employed and in November 1987, having outgrown the initial premises, the company purchased the present factory on Lamberhead Industrial Estate.

Investment was made in CAD/CAM facilities integrated with modern machinery to enable the company to offer a comprehensive design and manufacturing service. This is supported by a full maintenance and repair facility for customers' ongoing needs.
In 1994 the company embarked upon further expansion and, with the aid of a Regional Selective Assistance Grant, spent in excess of £120,000 on upgrading plant, machinery and computer systems whilst creating three permanent full time jobs. The business currently employs eighteen people and has an annual turnover approaching 1.5 million.
