Evans Tool & Die: Precision Built to Scale

For more than 75 years, Evans Tool & Die has been a trusted provider of custom tooling and precision manufacturing services, specializing in the design, development, and production of high-quality metal stampings. 

Located in Conyers, near Atlanta, the company serves a variety of industries, offering expert solutions for complex tooling and part-manufacturing needs. 

• Making a mark on manufacturing: As a board member of the Georgia Association of Manufacturers (GAM), CEO and President Dee Barnes is helping foster innovation and collaboration to support the more than 150 companies, suppliers, and professional services firms that are member to GAM. Evans Tool & Die joins other Georgia manufacturers including GE Appliances, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Irving Consumer Products, and Kia Georgia in shaping the future of manufacturing in Georgia.
• Family affair: From its beginnings more than 75 years ago, Evan’s Tool & Die has grown into a multi-generational legacy. The company has since added stamping, laser cutting, and metal fabrication to its original tool and die business. Barnes is now head of the company started by her grandfather, supported by her father and uncles, and where she returned and stayed after her time at Georgia College and State University.
