IES has a dedicated team of in-house tool and die makers with over 75 years of combined experience. Their “old school” training combined with up to date “new school” techniques provides IES the ability to offer tooling services that include design and build for new tooling projects and trouble shooting, maintenance and repair of existing tooling. The benefits of in-house tool makers to our customers include:

• Incoming die triage for take-over work to identify each tool’s current condition, make any necessary repairs that affect safety or part integrity and get the tooling up and running quickly.
• Immediate attention to tooling issues that arise during production runs – maximizing up-time to support consistent on-time deliveries.
• We routinely provide design for manufacturability support which leads to both lower up-front tooling and ongoing part costs.
