Tool Room & Tool Build
TIMS operates a fully equipped in-house tool room with the capability to build new tools, maintain and repair existing molds, and supervise tool builds at Chinese toolmakers on-site. This gives our customers faster turnaround, lower cost, and direct accountability — without relying on third parties.
