What exactly are you trying to find out?

I googled the following:

Also - I did one more refined search on Google.

Also, "Stormizing" yielded a few results:

What kind of tools did they make? Like hand tools or machine tools?

Looks like they made automotive machine service tools, like tools for reboring etc.

Storm made a boring bar. My father had one and used it a lot. I don't know if they are still in business. probably not as much call for that kind of overhaul with our throw-away mind set today.

I have a storm boring bar. It is very accurate, and heavy duty.
