Rework flat dies, special dies and coextrusion feedblocks
Rework flat dies, special dies and coextrusion feedblocks
A complete rework is often the cost-efficient alternative to replacing a component or machine, whether it is a matter of scratched dies, damaged edges, wear, or mechanical and electrical components that are in need of repair. We make your components fit for production again – and, by the way, this is independent of the original manufacturer. There are no limits to the possibilities.
