Frequently asked questions
What do we consider to be a small batch?
The maximum size of an order is entirely up to economics: Depending on complexity of a part and forecast total quantity, producing a progressive die or multi-slide tool will be more efficient. As we specialize in small batch production, we are not equipped to use such tools, but we can recommend one of our many customers who do produce and use such tools.
