In 1985, EDRO Specialty Steels was established with one prevailing goal: to develop, manufacture and distribute new and improved steels engineered for plastics tooling.Assembling a team of industry professionals and metallurgical experts, combined with years of first hand experience in constructing mold bases, EDRO has addressed and solved many problems that a mold builder may encounter, by developing new steel grades.Committed to the tooling industry, EDRO is continually exploring new ways to redesign mold steels to outperform traditional tooling materials.

EDRO has introduced several re-engineered and improved stainless holder steels, including RoyAlloy and UltraChem.RoyAlloy has become the stainless holder steel of choice in North America, and is characterized by improved machinability, weldability, corrosion resistance, and overall stability compared with all the traditional stainless holder grades.

In addition, to top quality holder steels, EDRO also distributes a comprehensive line of premium insert grades, including unique alloys for hot work applications.These steels all meet EDRO's superior quality standards. All EDRO grades are made in only the best globally recognized steel mills, using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and specifications.

In addition to our saw-cutting services, all EDRO steel centers also offer six-side plate processing. Plates are regularly delivered in a milled or ground condition, with a chamfer or radius on all edges
