San Shing expands tooling capability 24 July 2017

With a strong fastener manufacturing background, San Shing’s tooling factory has developed to become a global tooling supplier with established tooling production techniques.

Tooling products are not only used in the cold forming process but are also more broadly used for hot forging and press production. They can also be found as task-specific parts applications in industries ranging from the standard fastener industry and automotive industries to aerospace.

The San Shing Fastech Corp factory is fully equipped with a total of 360 sets of processing equipment including CNC milling, CNC turning, grinding machines, EDM wire cutting and EDM discharge machines. 350 staff working in two shifts supply up to 5,000 pieces of dies and 15,000 pieces of punches every month.

Continuous improvement is one of the core elements that underpin the growth of the tooling factory. In order to cope with the growing demand from its customers, San Shing planned a tooling factory expansion since 2013. In May 2015, a new three story factory was completed and came into full operation. The construction of the new factory helped San Shing add up to 6,000m2 to its manufacturing related operations.

Recent machinery renewals and procurement have also been done as part of the expansion plan, which has not only improved overall productivity and efficiency, but also increased production capability as well.

Since the renewal project, equipment utilisation has been optimised with an enhanced level of quality. With the addition of the new facility, equipment and manpower, San Shing will be able to take on the increasing tooling demands from customers in various industries.
