Committed to continuous improvement With a strong fastener manufacturing

background, San Shing’s tooling factory has developed to be a global tooling

supplier using reliable tooling production techniques. This has been possible

thanks to the company’s commitment to continuous improvement.

San Shing Fastech Corporation’s tooling

factory was founded in 1968 and was initially established to generate tooling for its

own fastener production. It started as

a small shop with a traditional lathe and

handful of turning machines – with a couple of technicians and a few operators making up the entire production team. Over

the years, with a strong fastener manufacturing background, the tooling section has

developed to become a global tooling

supplier and serving its customers with established tooling production processes.

“Today our tooling factory is fully equipped with a total of 360 sets of processing

equipment including CNC milling and

CNC turning machines, grinding machines, EDM wire cutting, EDM discharge

machines, 5-axis high speed milling machines and CMM for inspection,” states

San Shing proudly.

This wide range of machinery enables

the company to offer an extensive product range, with the company able to produce tooling for cold forming, hot forging,

press production, as well as task specific

parts applications in industries – ranging

izing an extra edge on market competition,” mentions San Shing. “Our self-contained tooling factory spares no effort to not

merely satisfy the huge internal demands

of consumable tooling – for more than

5,000 tonnes production – but also serves

hundreds of thousands of quality-oriented

punches and dies annually to the wellknown automotive and aerospace manufacturers around the world.”

One of the core elements of the tooling

factory’s capabilities and growth has been

the company’s dedication to continuous

improvement. “We are always looking to

develop and improve as a business, which

can take many forms” states San Shing.

“For instance, in order to cope with the

growing demand from our customers, we

expanded our factory in 2015, adding up

to 6,000m2.” For its manufacturing related operations, San Shing committed to

improving its production efficiency, as

well as boosting its capability to face up to

more challenges for high-end moulds

from different fields.

“Nowadays, full automation in production line is expected in order to to upgrade

from the fastener industry to the automotive and aerospace sectors.

“As it is widely known, the optimum performance on forging tooling undoubtedly

has become one of the key subjects in se-

production techniques and efficiency to a

new level,” mentions San Shing. “That is

why we have introduced new robotized

manufacturing systems to several workstations including EDM, milling and grin-

ding process. This will allow us to continue to work with customers and meet their developing needs and requirements.”

For more than 50 years, San Shing has

dedicated itself to offering quality-oriented services in fastener-related industries.

With the pioneering experiences and

background in fastener manufacturing,

San Shing’s tooling department has been able to meet the needs of customers

for the improvement of tooling life span.

San Shing concludes: “To uphold the

high-quality level and flexible delivery and

service the company is known for within

the industry, we will continue to develop

our tooling products and process so that

they can satisfy customers’ demands –

with a special focus on adding further ‘full

automation’ systems within manufacturing.”
