Why is this important to you? Klann’s ability to build your mold on-site using it’s own skilled toolmakers indicates a level of expertise not found at all molders. It also enables us to do the necessary maintenance that is essential to keep your molds in top production efficiency. Not all companies are like us in this regard. Many skimp on this service or skip it altogether, because this is something the customer seldom sees. We’re told we go overboard on mold maintenance, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our in-house tool shop also gives us the ability to do repairs or engineering modifications, on the spot, right away, so that your mold can be quickly returned to active duty—this is critical when you’re waiting for an emergency parts shipment

Toolmakers clean & lubricate molds after each production run

Tooling partners
At one time, Klann built every new mold it ran. Today with the many changes in mold making technology and specialization, we have teamed up with outside tooling partners, both domestic and overseas, to offer our clients even better value with lower cost/pricing structures. This enables us to match your requirements against our capabilities or a supplier partner to offer the best value and work within your budget.

Regardless of whether your mold is built in house or through an outside source, Klann retains full responsibility for every aspect of the design and construction from start to finish, including quality and delivery.

Customer molds en route to Klann

Transferring existing molds to Klann
This takes place more often than you might think, and occurs in one of two ways. First, we have several large customers who are also very large plastic injection molders of their own proprietary parts. They are very quality conscious, so we are honored when they trust us with their molds to run production parts for them—at times, up to 20 molds at one time. Second, a customer becomes displeased with his current vendor’s performance, which usually is a product quality or on-time delivery issue, and investigates other sources. Klann has often been the beneficiary of this type of situation.

In either case, we are fully capable of quickly assessing whether this mold will fit our equipment, and performing any necessary modifications, which are normally minor.
