www.variset.com, Royal Design and Manufacturing Letter from CEO

Welcome and thank you for your interest in Royal Tool Management Systems. Once you learn more about us, I think you'll agree that Royal Design and Mfg., Inc. is a unique, American owned international family business. Our international base is positioned and ready to serve our long list of global customers. Fifty years ago when my father, Joseph H. Paulick, started this company he identified a single, specific focus for the company "Cutting Tool Control Systems".

While that focus has never changed, other things have. Today our gauging products can provide tool-setting accuracy in the single-micron range. Our software communicates with CAD systems, host computers, PLC, CNC, and DNC systems. It helps you manage all of your tool information, inventory, and optimizes tool life by predicting tool changes.

Our world headquarters, Royal Design & Mfg., Inc., located in Madison Heights, Michigan services the North and South American markets including Canada and Mexico, while our wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Tool Control Ltd. of Sheffield, England, services Great Britain, Europe, and the Far East.

We're still dedicated exclusively to Tool Management Systems. We still believe in a personal commitment to our customers. (Many companies make that claim, but just try to reach their top executives by phone! You can at Royal.) And we still believe in real service, conservative claims and American-made quality.

We're extremely proud of the customers who have looked to Royal over the years for their tool management needs. They've all learned that a responsive company with a single-minded dedication to their needs will produce better products and earn more respect than any other type of organization. Will we have a chance to prove that to you? I sincerely hope so.

Sincerely,
Royal Design & Manufacturing Inc.
Rodney D. Paulick
Chairman of the Board/CEO
