With the combination of The Gerstenslager Company (a subsidiary of Worthington Industries), and International Tooling Solutions (ITS), into a newly formed joint venture; ArtiFlex Manufacturing provides the quality and services that customers have come to expect from ITS and Gerstenslager.  Growth initiatives will center on the low volume stamped products market including the niche Original Equipment (OE) vehicle production business. Gerstenslager and ITS have been working together through a co-marketing initiative over the last year with significant success due to the innovative ULVD/A solution. 

The newly formed ArtiFlex Manufacturing will operate five manufacturing facilities in Frankfort, Ky.; Grand Rapids, Mich. (two locations); and Clyde and Wooster, Ohio. Current ITS Owner and President Erin Hoffmann will lead the new joint venture.
