Everyone recognizes the fundamental role of molds in OEM metal stamping industries, but its significance is sometimes underestimated. While some metal stamping factories partner with mold factories, we choose to have an in-house mold shop. But why is it imperative for us to have an in-house mold shop?
For several reasons:
- Precision and Quality Control: With an in-house tool shop, we can exert total control over the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of our tooling. This ensures it meets the necessary specifications and tolerances. We prioritize accuracy from the very beginning.
- Flexibility and Responsiveness: Our in-house tool shop allows us to swiftly address design changes, production adjustments, and tooling modifications. This flexibility ensures quicker turnaround times and reduces production downtime, a crucial factor in a fast-paced industry. Our prompt responses are one of the many reasons our customers enjoy working with us.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Although setting up an in-house tool shop requires a substantial initial investment, it can lead to substantial cost savings over time. By avoiding the markup costs of outsourcing tooling and reducing lead times, we can increase efficiency and productivity. That’s why our mold cost quotation is lower than others.
- Intellectual Property Protection: Tooling designs and processes often represent valuable intellectual property for our customers. By keeping tooling in-house, we can better protect their proprietary information and maintain a competitive advantage.
- Maintenance and Repair: Having an in-house tool shop allows for efficient maintenance and repair of tooling, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of the tools. This can lead to significant cost savings over the long term.
- Skilled Workforce Development: Having an in-house tool shop allows us to cultivate and retain a skilled workforce specializing in tooling design, manufacturing, and maintenance. This expertise is invaluable in our highly specialized industry. Our mold designer has been with us for over 10 years with very rich experience.
Having an in-house tool shop enables us to maintain tight control over quality, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, intellectual property protection, tooling maintenance, and workforce development, all of which are critical factors for success in this highly competitive and demanding sector.
