About Olsen Tool & Plastics
Olsen Tool & Plastics operates from Chaska, Minnesota, where it has been based since 1991. The company traces its roots to 1955 when Ken Olsen rented a basement room in Minneapolis for a handmade lathe. In 1958, after a first job producing hydraulic landing gear cylinders for a local airliner, Olsen launched the toolmaking business full time. Bob Strom joined as a toolmaker in 1965, became a partner in 1968, and took over when Olsen retired in 1988. The business has remained family-owned for over six decades; in 2023 Katherine Lambert, who joined in 2007, succeeded Strom as president. The firm is certified as woman-owned. Olsen Tool & Plastics builds custom injection molds and runs custom plastic injection molding for produced parts. It also manufactures a proprietary line of nylon and polypropylene fittings that are stocked for quick delivery. The Chaska facility includes a Class 8 clean room with positive‑flow tables for medical‑grade work. Services span design consulting, close‑tolerance molding, process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ, PPAP), and FDA‑compliant manufacturing under 21 CFR Part 820. The quality management system is certified to ISO 13485:2016. The company serves medical, agricultural, and industrial customers worldwide. Medical clients include MonuMedical, referenced by Dave Duncan, MD. Industrial references cite A&M and Aims Fasteners. The fittings line addresses agricultural and industrial fluid‑handling applications. Founded on principles of respect, integrity, and honesty, Olsen Tool & Plastics emphasizes a personal “can do” response, in‑house tooling, and honest value. Its ISO 13485:2016 QMS and clean‑room capability are presented as core differentiators for regulated markets.
