1998 Diecutter/Diemaker of the Year

For the IADD

Clay's commitment to diemaking didn't end, however, with satisfied customers. He was always concerned about the success of the diecutting and diemaking industries.

According to Rex Williams, current IADD president, in the early '70s, Clay joined a group of industry colleagues to form an association of diecutters and diemakers. After attending an early planning meeting and interacting with some of the industry's most respected people, Clay realized that the best format for the emerging association was the sharing of knowledge and information.
