introduction of companies
San Shing Fastech Corporation’s tooling
factory was founded in 1968 and was initi-
ally 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 coup-
le of technicians and a few operators ma-
king up the entire production team. Over
the years, with a strong fastener manufac-
turing background, the tooling section has
developed to become a global tooling
supplier and serving its customers with es-
tablished tooling production processes.
“Today our tooling factory is fully equip-
ped with a total of 360 sets of processing
equipment including CNC milling and
CNC turning machines, grinding machi-
nes, EDM wire cutting, EDM discharge
machines, 5-axis high speed milling ma-
chines and CMM for inspection,” states
San Shing proudly.
This wide range of machinery enables
the company to offer an extensive pro-
duct range, with the company able to pro-
duce tooling for cold forming, hot forging,
press production, as well as task specific
parts applications in industries – ranging
from the fastener industry to the automo-
tive and aerospace sectors.
“As it is widely known, the optimum per-
formance on forging tooling undoubtedly
has become one of the key subjects in se-
izing an extra edge on market competiti-
on,” mentions San Shing. “Our self-conta-
ined 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 well-
known automotive and aerospace manu-
facturers 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 rela-
ted 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 producti-
on line is expected in order to to upgrade
production techniques and efficiency to a
new level,” mentions San Shing. “That is
why we have introduced new robotized
manufacturing systems to several work-
stations including EDM, milling and grin-
ding process. This will allow us to conti-
nue to work with customers and meet the-
ir developing needs and requirements.”
For more than 50 years, San Shing has
dedicated itself to offering quality-orien-
ted services in fastener-related industries.
With the pioneering experiences and
background in fastener manufacturing,
San Shing’s tooling department has be-
en 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 manufactu-
ring.” p
