Stamping Dies

Building sheet metal stamping dies has been the heart of the group since it all began in 1983. We have gained worldwide recognition for building dies that meet stringent OEM and supplier standards.

Using lean manufacturing, continuous evaluation of our process, and best practices learned throughout our dies shops has decreased our costs and throughput time; getting you the tools you need for less.

Service, Repair, Maintenance Programs

Downtime kills any manufacturer. Properly maintaining, servicing, and repairing your tooling insures that it will run for longer and give you the most life out of it, which means savings to your bottom line.

In the TSG, we can create a service and maintenance program for domestic, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese style tooling with:

  • diagnostic review of dies and tooling.
  • inspection and sharpening of tooling.
  • quick repair of broken parts and dies.
  • 24/7 emergency service.

Tryout and Runoff Capabilities

With 20 presses (up to 2,500-tons and 108" x 200" bed) and a variety of heavy-duty equipment, we can keep die builds moving without having to wait for tryout presses to be available. Working together, our die shops can utilize each other’s equipment, as well as the TSG tryout facility, when their own capacity becomes filled up.
