Case Study: Pieh Tool Company grows sales and expands offerings with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Pieh Tool Company - Customer Case Study

Pieh Tool Company, founded by Amy Pieh in Camp Verde, Arizona, needed help turning a family business transition into a viable new venture after the loss of her parents and her earlier experience in the industry. The company was just getting started, and Amy faced tight finances, uncertain growth, and the challenge of building a business plan and securing funding.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty provided long-distance mentoring, including business planning guidance, loan ideas, and advice on negotiating better payment terms with vendors. With support from SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty, Pieh Tool Company launched in 2003, gradually quadrupled monthly sales within a year, and expanded by opening a blacksmithing school and building a stronger marketing presence.
