• Electronics Industry

Overview

Our services provide our customers with the most cost effective way to design, build and try out their

tooling by utilizing our International Tool & Die Group. This group includes KBX design engineers and

program management personnel located in North America. Our group consist of several North American

Tool & Die facilities that assist in 3D Design / Engineering changes / Die Try Out & Service

Maintenance.

In China we have a group of tool & die manufactures we use to build the actual dies based on our North

American designs. We have KBX Engineers and Metallurgist located in China that are placed in the

tooling house we specify for each individual program. These engineers manage each individual tool

build from start to finish providing digital picture and time line reports as the tool builds progress.

Having multiple resources to choose from allows us to place your project in the most cost effective

source, meeting both your quality and timing requirements.

We encourage and invite our North American customers to visit our suppliers. However, we also

understand the cost of making multiple trips overseas to monitor individual projects. Our services are

here to limit those costs and allow our American engineering group in China to shoulder those

responsibilities.
