Jim Vassar believed in providing the best-in-class quality service in the plastics industry. Inspired by his father’s work bottle making technician-Jim Vassar founded Fidelity Tool & Mold in 1986, with the vision to provide a customized and innovative approach to mold technology. Fidelity Tool & Mold also commits to researching and developing patented technology, the first MPL (Multi Parting line technology), which doubles the output of conventional machines in the industry.


After years of consistent growth, Fidelity Tool & Mold caught the eye of Brett Weber, who wanted to acquire a thriving business. In September 2020, Weber turned to his go-to community bank, Centrust Bank, for assistance. Centrust provided an SBA Loan to finance the purchase with a revolving line of credit, while ensuring a smooth sale with the help of the expert Centrust Bank team.
