Toolmaking database

Our database of toolmaking companies is unique worldwide. Data from more than 1000 toolmaking companies not older than five years are stored here. On this basis, the "Toolmaking" Business Unit can carry out benchmarkings and competitive analyses and access comparative data from many years of industrial experience. The toolmaking database represents a wide range of tool types and manufacturing strategies thanks to its large number of data records. Due to the internationality of the data sets, regional developments can also be evaluated and compared. In addition to benchmarking projects, the technological depth of the key figures allows statements to be made on the production and machine performance of companies. The comparison of the companies is always anonymous and tailored to the respective company (e.g. "German injection mold manufacturers with approx. 50 employees").
