1999 Top Diemakers

DieGraphics and Chicago Cutting Die are newcomers to the top 10 this year, coming in at No. 4 and No. 9, respectively. DieGraphics, along with No. 23 San Leandro, CA-based Nor Cal Design, are new to the survey.

Keen competition, more detailed reporting of sales and the previously mentioned sell-off pushed two former top 10 diemakers down a few notches, forced two 1998 ranked companies off the list, and prevented previously ranked companies from making the list of the elite 25.
