Up to 70% Faster Than Emergency Repair.

An emergency refurbishment can shut down your injection mold production for weeks – especially due to time-consuming spare parts manufacturing that can’t begin until the tool is disassembled. In contrast, a planned refurbishment enables you to stay ahead: spare parts are manufactured while the mold is still in use, and refurbishment capacity is pre-scheduled to avoid delays. This proactive approach reduces downtime by up to 70%, ensuring your mold re-enters production swiftly and efficiently – without the high costs and unpredictability of emergency repairs.
