Tool Development & Mold Management
Our in-house tool and die shop repairs, modifies, and maintains your molds in-house, while new tooling is built by trusted partners to our spec — for fast modifications and tools that stay production-ready for decades.
Your molds are an investment — we protect it
Our in-house tool and die shop, repairs, modifies, and maintains current tools, and manages the build of new tooling through trusted partners. Keeping design, modification, and lifetime maintenance under our own roof means quick design changes, lower costs, and accountability you cannot get from a purely outsourced shop.
How We Manage Your Tooling
Source, maintain, and store — so your tool is always ready to run.
Source & Modify
We design your tool and have new molds built by trusted partners; our craftsmen then use lathes, mills, and CNC machining to modify, repair, and refine molds in-house.
Maintain (PM)
Every mold sits on a preventive-maintenance schedule between runs, preventing unplanned downtime and keeping tools in excellent condition.
Store & Manage
We catalog and store your tooling securely — nearly 3,000 service molds and counting — ready for the next production run.
The go-to source for aftermarket & service molds
Formed in the early 1990s, our Service Molding Team has grown to nearly 3,000 service molds and become the go-to source for molded aftermarket parts across a variety of industries.
All of it runs on an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system — documented processes, traceable materials, and controlled inspection on every run, not just the ones being watched.
In-house tool & die shop
A full in-house tool & die shop — design, repair, modify, and maintain tools on-site; new molds built by trusted partners to our spec.
Preventive maintenance
Scheduled PM on every mold guards against defects, downtime, and costly delays.
Secure mold storage
Nearly 3,000 molds cataloged and stored, ready to run when you need a new batch.
Mold guarantee
Because we design, manage, and maintain it, we stand behind it — fast fixes and dependable tool life.
Have an existing tool that needs a new home?
We routinely take on, service, and run aftermarket and legacy molds. Whether you need ongoing management of current tooling or a brand-new custom tool, our team will assess it and recommend the best path forward.
★★★★★“We needed a custom, highly unique new device — but more importantly, a supplier partner that could be counted on to deliver an incredibly high impact project on an aggressive timeline. The supplier-partner submitted what was asked, but also took it a step further by providing a 2nd solution that cast their own unique design spin. This design set them apart from the group and, with their value-add on cost and timing, made it an easy decision on who to partner with. They say it’s easy to make things different but really hard to make them better. I can say today that this year’s supplier of the year winner helped make us better for many years to come.”
