DEVELOPING INJECTION MOULDING TOOLING FOR OVER 40 YEARS.

The tooling process begins with a detailed design review, where our engineers assess every aspect of the part and production requirements. This collaborative phase ensures that the final tool is precisely engineered to balance budget, lead time, and the specific technical needs of your project.

We consider factors such as material selection, part complexity, expected volumes, and future scalability—ensuring the tool is robust, reliable, and capable of delivering consistent, high-quality results throughout its lifecycle.

TOOLING PROCESS

We understand this process can be a new experience for some and MGS Technical Plastics will be here to guide you throughout.

During the manufacture of your tool, the process will be overseen by a skilled project engineer.

The process begins with a detailed design review, where the feasibility of the product and tool design are analysed and revised until final approval.

Whether your tool is crafted in-house by our trusted toolroom team or produced by our carefully selected local and international partners, every tool is built to exacting MGS specifications. Each one undergoes stringent testing to ensure it meets the highest standards for performance, reliability, and production readiness.

During the tooling manufacture process, we provide continuous communication and project updates so you can rest assured that the project remains on track and in scope.

ONSITE TOOLROOM

At MGS Technical Plastics, we understand that your tooling is a critical asset—so we treat it with the care and precision it deserves.

Our on-site toolroom plays a vital role in maintaining, modifying, and now even manufacturing tools in-house. We've made significant investments in both our equipment and our expert team, including the addition of a high-performance CNC machine. This expansion allows us to go beyond routine maintenance and offer full toolmaking capabilities, delivering faster turnaround times and even greater quality control.

All tool maintenance is managed through our ERP-linked preventative maintenance programme, ensuring tools perform reliably across every production cycle.

For complex engineering changes or larger modifications, we work exclusively with our trusted network of approved local tooling partners. This ensures minimal disruption, reduced downtime, and consistently high-quality output.

TOOL TRANSFERS

MGS Technical Plastics have a proven track record in managing smooth, efficient tool transfers for both new and existing customers.

We understand how critical this process is to your production continuity. Whether you're reshoring manufacturing operations or transitioning from another supplier, our experienced team ensures that your tooling is moved, validated, and brought into production with minimal disruption to your business.

Our expertise in tool assessment, validation, and integration means you can trust MGS to take ownership of the process and deliver consistent, high-quality results—right from the first cycle.
