Our History

Bruce Allen started in the die industry as an entry-level employee in March of 1980.  He worked his way through production before graduating to sales.  He left in early 1990 to work as a Manufacturer’s Representative, selling various products to the corrugated die-cutting industry.  Some of his die customers started asking him to make dies, as they were dissatisfied with the quality and service that they were currently receiving.  By the end of the year, Bruce was in the die manufacturing business, while still being a sales representative.  Alcor has now been making high quality dies for 29 years, all while maintaining a five-star rating with the Better Business Bureau.
