Company Profile
Manufacturing Excellence Since 1962
Beginnings
We have been manufacturing tooling for many industries since Guill’s founding in 1962. What began as a provider of parts for the US Navy quickly expanded into an extrusion tooling provider for companies throughout the country and eventually throughout the world.
Roots
Our roots as a defense supplier are what makes our manufacturing capabilities exceptional. The requirements that our facility adheres to in order to provide the highest quality products to the US government are the same requirements that are used in our extrusion tooling division, allowing us to be capable of holding some of the tightest tolerances in the industry.
Our Portfolio
Having a large portfolio of experience in many industries is what sets us apart from other suppliers and keeps us at the forefront of extrusion technology advancement.

We offer inline-heads, crossheads, NoLeak water cooled heads, industry standard and custom tips & dies as well as spiderless inline tips & dies. Our line of accessories and components include cartridge heater systems, sizing dies, forming rolls, breaker plates, flanges, swing gates, special equipment and custom applications. We have organized our extrusion tooling into Series. Each Series addresses a specific manufacturing process required by a wide range of industries throughout the world. With our flexible product design, any extruder configuration may be quickly and easily adapted.
In addition, easy and fast cleaning are important benefits of Guill extrusion tools with specific instruction manuals provided with each extrusion head.
Government Division
Defense
Our government division, Guill Defense, has been a US government supplier since it began. As a result, our library of drawings is incredibly comprehensive and we are able to manufacture a wide range of parts and components.
Quality & Ingenuity
Just as the extrusion division benefits from the stringent quality standards of the defense division, our defense division benefits from the engineering expertise of our team of highly trained engineers.

Engineering Excellence
Utilizing the latest 3D CAD/MCAD connected with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CDF (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Systems, Guill engineers were first to develop the FlexiSpiral™ deflector, the patented FeatherTouch™ die adjusting system for 100% concentricity control and the SealRight™ feature. They have also developed a QuickChange Manifold for rapid change of color and/or material.
