Progress Design and Machine was established in 1967 in Clyde, Ohio. We design and build machines for the crankshaft and camshaft industries as well as custom machinery for other industries. Our goal has always remained the same “Provide 100% customer satisfaction through world class products and services”.
Toledo Automated Concepts was founded in the late 1980s in Toledo, Ohio. Our goal has always been to provide high performance glass processing equipment for today’s glass industry needs. Today we are “World Leaders in Glass Drilling Technology”.
In December of 1990 TAC joined Progress. Which then operated out of a modern 25,000 sq. ft. facility located in Clyde, Ohio.
In 1994, TAC purchased Sun Tool. We now service all Sun Tool machinery as well as offer machine upgrades or replacements.
In 2008, TAC passed a milestone with producing our 500th glass drilling machine. We are very proud of this achievement and feel this helps us solidify ourselves as “World Leaders in Glass Drilling Technology”.
In 2018 Progress TAC completed a 25,000 square foot addition in order to continue to meet our customers growing demand for custom automation.
