Cavalier Tool and Manufacturing Ltd., a global leader in medium to large tooling, hosted a Retiree’s Tour to honor past contributors to the tooling industry. This event provided former industry professionals with a firsthand look at today’s advanced processes and technology. Held at Cavalier Tool’s World Headquarters in Windsor, Ontario, the gathering celebrated both the legacy and the future of tooling innovation.

The Retiree’s Tour was launched by Cavalier Tool to honor the extensive expertise and contributions of retired professionals in the tooling sector. This event provided retirees with the unique opportunity to reconnect with former colleagues and friends, reminisce about past experiences, and engage in discussions on how the industry has evolved over the years.

Notable figures from the industry attended the gathering, including Nicole Vlanich, Executive Director of The Canadian Association of Mold Makers; Mike Hicks ofDMS; and Dino Bavetta, President of Ramstar. Mike Hicks added a nostalgic element by bringing memorabilia from one of the region’s original tooling shops, International Tool Ltd., which sparked fond memories and lively discussions among attendees.

The tour showcased several advanced machines and processes that now characterize the modern mold manufacturing industry, giving retirees a glimpse into the future of tooling. Attendees also participated in raffles, with two winners receiving ticket packages to see the Windsor Spitfires.

Reflecting on the event’s success, Cavalier Tool President Brian Bendig commented, “It was great to catch up with so many familiar faces. This tour bridged past and present, allowing us to honor the foundation these retirees built while showcasing Cavalier’s commitment to continuous advancement.”
