Why Progressive Tooling?
High volume, easy maintenance, robustness, repeat-ability & low lifetime cost.
While Progressive Tooling can appear to be a considerable investment up front, the benefits can last a decade or more. Some progressive dies built by True in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s ARE STILL in operation at major OEMs or service facilities.
Our progressive new die build process has been refined and perfected over the years, making True one of the global leading suppliers known for its superior quality.
