Many companies seek ways to boost efficiency, cut costs, reduce freight expenses, and improve product quality. One effective strategy to achieve these goals is transfer tooling—but what exactly does that entail, and when is it the right move?
Transfer tooling refers to relocating existing injection molds from one manufacturing facility to another. Businesses may choose this option for various reasons, including lowering production costs by moving to a facility with more competitive rates, addressing capacity limitations at their current supplier, or upgrading product quality by leveraging a more advanced or specialized molder. It can also support strategic goals, such as relocating closer to end markets or key parts of the supply chain to reduce lead times and freight expenses. When done correctly, transfer tooling can lead to improved quality, operational efficiency, and long-term savings.
