So from what I can tell, a lot of boils down to the same reasons most of America/US manufacturing declined. Globilzation, greed and other factors.
This article really hits home for me. I grew up in Cincinnati and it was a tool making powerhouse back in the day. Cincinnati Tool, now Milacron and many others were made here in town. We still have a few nice tool makers in Ohio - Kett and Wright but its sad to read about how much this industry powered the nation and a lot of its innovation.
Going to our museum center, hell even our Airport has a bunch of exhibits that take about all of the tool making and industry we used to have. Makes me sad really.
