More and more complex shapes are used in a wide variety of areas. This also increases the strategic importance of mould making for the most important industrial markets.
Companies in the die & mould sector rely on the most advanced technologies with the aim of achieving maximum accuracy and cost-effectiveness in the shortest possible time.
As a technology partner, MAPAL provides die and mould production with a high level of process know-how, technologically leading tools and services that exactly meet the needs and requirements of customers.
Walter Formenbau trusts in MAPAL’s expertise
In order to achieve its goal of fully networked production, owner Dr Jens Buchert brought MAPAL on board as a full-range supplier.
Companies that make dies and moulds expect high process and product expertise from their cutting tools manufacturer. They require their tools to offer the highest levels of precision, a long tool life, and – above all – process reliability. It is precisely these aspects that make MAPAL successful in sectors such as the automotive industry, machine engineering and the aerospace industry. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the precision tool manufacturer is now also taking off in the die & mould sector.
