Do you make or design your own tooling?

Answer: Yes, we have a complete toolroom. We design and build our own tooling as well as utilize well-established outside tooling sources.

When a metal stamping supplier like Talan Products, Inc. has in-house tooling, customers reap significant benefits that enhance efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.

First, in-house tooling reduces lead times by eliminating the need to outsource die design and manufacturing, enabling faster project starts and quicker adjustments. For instance, Talan Products can rapidly prototype and refine tools, accelerating production timelines for high-volume stampings.

Second, it lowers costs. By managing tooling internally, we avoid third-party markups, passing savings to customers. Talan also maintains tools on-site, reducing downtime and repair expenses, which ensures consistent production schedules.

Third, in-house tooling improves quality control. Talan can directly oversee tool design, ensuring precision for complex stamped parts made from materials like aluminum, stainless steel, or brass. This minimizes errors and ensures parts meet tight tolerances, critical for industries like automotive or aerospace.
