Mold Transfer Programs

Empire Precision has a history of successful tool transfers.

Naturally there are concerns when the need arises to transfer a mold from one vendor to another. We understand how difficult the process can be.

Empire Precision knows tooling – it is the centerpiece for the entire injection molding process. That is why we take great pains to protect and maximize you tooling investments. We have received feedback from our customers, have been able to address problematic issues and bring them to a successful conclusion.

Empire has skilled tradesmen and engineering systems that can bring you solutions through our systematic approach:

  • A scientific molding based mold diagnosis program for debugging, modifying and repairing of tools.
  • Reacting to your immediate production requirements by providing short and long term solutions.
  • Extensive mold care and maintenance program
  • Preventative maintenance programs to keep mission critical high volume programs with maximum up time.

Scientific Molding Principles – Repeatability & Process Control

The days of "black magic" mold processing are over. By using a systematic approach based on well established processing principles, we can develop fast, repeatable machine cycle times without compromising the tool, material or your product's quality. We’ll keep the tool in excellent working order to extend its productive service life. If the tool is complex, has delicate features, or has an at-risk design, we’ll review options to keep your product running smoothly, without interruptions or added costs.

In addition to how Empire develops the molding process, Empire has our innovative Advance Project Team. This pro-active, internal group will work with your company’s technical and procurement staff to find ways to reduce costs by increasing productivity. We understand the importance of quality, cost and delivery!
