Full-service injection molding, mold-building, and automation supplier for industrial manufacturers
Commercial Tool Group operates three integrated manufacturing divisions—mold building (Commercial Tool & Die), automation and fixtures (CG Automation & Fixture), and injection molding production (CG Plastics)—serving automotive, appliance, and heavy-truck OEMs. The tech stack is centered on traditional CAM/CAD tools (PowerMill, Unigraphics/NX) and industrial control systems (Allen-Bradley, Siemens PLC, Ignition) rather than modern software infrastructure, reflecting a hands-on manufacturing operation. Hiring velocity is accelerating with a 9-of-18 roles posted in the last 30 days, skewed heavily toward manufacturing (11 roles) and engineering (5), suggesting capacity expansion or turnover pressure on the production floor.
