It started in a playhouse in Decatur.
In 1948, Leonard L. Evans, Jr. founded Evans Tool & Die, Inc. in Decatur, Georgia. Leonard and his wife Mary Alice were both tool & die makers, and they started their first shop in their daughter's backyard playhouse. As the business grew, it expanded to incorporate Evans Metal Stamping, Inc.
In 1978 the company moved to a brand-new facility in Conyers, GA, led by the second generation, Len III, Craig, and son-in-law Ray Duensing. It has expanded several times since and now spans 200,000 square feet with a full-service tool & die shop and over 67 punch presses.
Today Evans is in its third generation of leadership, with Dee Barnes, granddaughter of Leonard Evans, as President and CEO. The company has grown in size and influence, but the values inspired by Leonard and Mary Alice remain the same: Integrity, Accountability, Excellence, and Generosity.
