Elkhart Tool & Die, Inc. was established in 1932 as a tooling manufacturer for industrial equipment and automotive industries. When the first RVs were made, there was almost an immediate need for entry steps that would help people up into campers. Considered one of the oldest RV suppliers in the industry, Elkhart Tool & Die Company today specializes in its manual steps, as well as continuous hinges that range up to 15 feet in length. The company will also cater to certain metal fabrication needs.
