J.P. Pattern is a family owned and operated company located in the greater Milwaukee area. We are a high quality pattern, tool and die manufacturer proficient in a wide variety of tooling serving many types of manufacturing industries. In 1964 Joseph Puhl, a pattern maker from Austria, founded J.P. Pattern. The company initially produced wood patterns for the foundry industry. In the mid 70's J. P. Pattern expanded and includes capabilities for building metal patterns and molds to serve more of its customer's needs. Soon after this expansion Joseph's two sons were added to the J.P. Pattern team. Maintaining a high level of technological capabilities has always been important to J.P. Pattern. Continuing to respond to our customer's needs has lead to many firsts for J.P. Pattern such as: The first company in the Midwest to purchase CNC equipment with Sharnoa controls. This equipment was capable of machining complex 3-dimensional surfaces before usable and affordable CAD/ CAM systems became available. The newly added capability of CNC contour milling revolutionized the shop's tool and mold making methods in the 1980's.
