Former owner of Tools & Production passes away

Tools & Production, based in Temple City, California, has reported the passing of its former owner, Bert Lamberti.

Lamberti, born in 1920, was instrumental in directing the company’s growth from 1976 to 1986 when he sold the company to Mark Andy in a deal that represented a partnership of press and tooling manufacturers. He retired shortly afterwards. The current owner, his son Mike, regained ownership of T&P from Mark Andy in 1996, and continues to run the company.

Bert Lamberti was a pioneer in the punching industry and will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife, Joan, daughters Cathi and Lynda, and son Mike.
