Case Study: X-Cell Tool & Mold achieves sustainable growth with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

X-Cell Tool & Mold - Customer Case Study

X-Cell Tool & Mold, founded by Ron Novel in Fairview, Pennsylvania, is a tool and mold manufacturing business that grew from a small 800-square-foot shop into a larger operation, but faced major challenges including market volatility, overseas competition, and even bankruptcy after losing a key anchor client. The company needed help adapting its business approach and sustaining growth.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty provided mentorship and guidance, including a measurement-oriented management approach and selling techniques to help X-Cell Tool & Mold respond to market changes. With support from SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty, the business recovered, expanded into a 25,000-square-foot facility with plans for another 22,000 square feet, grew to more than 50 employees, and reached about $10 million in revenue while continuing to grow more than 10% annually.
