about us

Southern Tool Specialist, Inc. is the leading solutions provider in manufacturing processes.

Southern Tool Specialist, Inc. was formed in 2007 as a subsidiary of TFS, Inc (formed in 2003). By forming STS, Inc., the combination of both companies gave the market a very focused specialist for assembly manufacturing processes.

Having several Engineering contracts for Process Engineering Services, we began to identify a need in the market for true assembly experts. Assembly processes are our core competency spanning all manufacturing segments. When you buy from us, our focus is on the solution and the value of the solution to you.
