JK Tool builds new facility in Pennsylvania
- April 27, 2017
- News Release
- Bending and Forming
JK Tool Inc., a designer and manufacturer of progressive stamping tools, precision machined components, and custom assemblies, has moved into a new, custom-designed facility in New Kensington, Pa.
The 18,000-sq.-ft. plant has an open floor plan, layout, and systematic design to help workers improve communication, process optimization, and ability to manage projects visually. Through value stream mapping, equipment is in the optimal position, with design engineering on the same level as the plant for immediate feedback from manufacturing to design.
Final assembly and groom areas are located adjacent to the pressroom to provide the most direct access to move completed tools more efficiently to the pressroom. This layout has helped improve lead times and deliveries.
The plant offers CNC and manual milling; CNC and manual lathe/turning; jig, wet, and precision grinding; CEDM and WEDM; precision metal stamping die tryouts/production; heat treating; cryogenic and hardness testing processes; die assembly and build; design engineering; low-volume stamping; design; and prototyping.
The company will host an open house on June 7. For more information on the open house, visit www.jktoolinc.com.
