In this time of uncertain global trade relations, JATCO, Incorporated, is seeing an increase in tool transfer opportunities. Just in the past two weeks, we had several customers approach us with tools in Mexico and several with tools in Asia asking us to provide a quote to move them to our location in Modesto, California.
Factors Driving Tool Transfers in Plastic Injection Molding
There are other factors that drive someone to move a tool to a different molder. A supplier may have gone out of business, is downsizing, or changing their focus on new markets. The customer may want to move their tool to another geographic location to accommodate growth opportunities. And some are evaluating if their parts can be molded at more competitive prices.
JATCO’s Streamlined Tool Transfer Process
Our Team are experts when it comes to receiving molds that have been previously deployed. When one arrives, we spring into action to ensure that our procedures meet strict timelines to get it ready for production. Our Tool Room conducts a thorough assessment and creates documentation that outlines any necessary repairs and/or fitting changes to minimize time and ensure quality products will be molded according to customer expectations. We also prepare a regular preventative maintenance schedule for the mold. Our Quality Control Division evaluates components and creates metric instructions and inspection criteria. Our Process Engineering Team then seamlessly moves the mold into an appropriately sized press and fine-tunes all variables required to create products that meet stringent customer expectations.
