Why this plant in particular
The Fraunhofer study on Chinese mould making reaches a clear conclusion: the market is broad, quality varies widely, and successful purchasing depends on market knowledge and a presence on the ground. The usual answer is a supplier pool in which every project starts again from zero.
TG-TP took a different path: one plant, known completely. A-KITA builds to European standards with DME and HASCO standard components, employs English-speaking project engineers and has supplied customers for years whose quality departments rank among the strictest in the world; a substantial share of its output goes to Japan.
For you this means: your drawing frames, your tolerance system, your sampling logic are nothing new to the plant. They are daily routine.
A tour along the production flow
From the design office to the inspection room. Every picture comes from the plant, nothing is staged.
Machinery
The accuracy of a mould begins at the spindle. The core production machines, grouped by process.
