Your 2022 Technology Review and Sourcing Guide
MoldMaking Technology’s annual Technology Review and Sourcing Guide streamlines the search for new products, equipment and services with updated supplier listings alongside product and service reviews.
The moldmaking industry continues to be busy. Recent Moldmaking Index data report acceleration in production, backlog, new orders, supplier deliveries and exports. That means mold builders must keep pace with demand, making an investment in the right technology and services more and more critical to a mold-building operation’s success.
But, as MMT EAB member and Wepco Plastics CFO Charles Daniels says, “While there may be pressure to rush this process, it is vital to have ample time to manage each step, so you gather all of the relevant information. Decisions on incomplete data will not lead to the best investment option.”
This is where MoldMaking Technology’s annual Technology Review and Sourcing Guide comes into play. Whether your team is on the hunt for a new machine, needs a software upgrade, is ready to switch a key vendor, or contemplating outsourcing a step in the process, this guide can help ease your decision-making process.
The 100-plus pages of this printed issue and an extensive online database serve up more than 1,000 manufacturers, distributors and suppliers of over 200 product, equipment and service categories that keep the mold manufacturing supply chain going strong.
We hope you keep this issue handy and use it to guide the discussion during any decision-making meetings with your team.
For streamlined searching, the guide is divided into 11 sections representing the major product, equipment and process categories that are essential to engineer, build, maintain and/or repair a mold:
- Services
- Software
- Additive Manufacturing
- Mold Materials
- Hot Runners
- Mold Components
- Cutting Tools
- Machining
- EDM
- Inspection/Measurement
- Maintenance, Repair and Surface Treatment
Each section opens with a few supplier/vendor profiles that spotlight their key offerings, followed by a sourcing grid that matches 40 leading suppliers with their respective product/service offerings and capabilities (advertisers are noted in boldface type). Next are applicable technical product and service reviews and tips covered by MoldMaking Technology during the past 12 months.
The grids represent only a portion of MoldMaking Technology’s complete online database, so make sure you check out the complete data online at moldmakingtechnology.com/suppliers. You can search by category, product, company name or location. We survey and update our supplier database every spring with the latest company contact information and product/service offerings to maintain accurate company and listing data.
We hope you keep this issue handy and use it to guide the discussion during any decision-making meetings with your team.
