Tool Making

Craemer Tool Making is synonymous with innovation, precision, and performance. We go beyond manufacturing high-precision tools for metal forming and plastics processing – we deliver custom-engineered packages that drive productivity and efficiency for our clients. Our trusted partners include leading automotive brands, household appliance and fittings manufacturers, and metal processing suppliers across diverse sectors. For Craemer Plastics Processing, we produce premium-quality injection moulds that power the production of smart, durable solutions for logistics and waste management, including industry-standard pallets and containers.

Our expertise, your competitive edge: As part of the family-owned Craemer Group, we bring decades of in-house excellence in tool making and mould construction. Since 1912, we've supported our Metal Forming division, and since 1958, our Plastics Processing operations—ensuring consistent quality and innovation from within. In addition, we offer our extensive know-how to the global metalworking (supply) industry, delivering proven solutions backed by generations of experience.

Our customers gain the power of tradition and innovation from one trusted source. As part of a forward-thinking company group, we offer access to highly skilled specialists, cutting-edge, digitally networked machinery, and the latest in software technology. What sets us apart is our integrated expertise – bringing together decades of know-how and end-to-end manufacturing competence under one roof. The result: high-performance tools and injection moulds for everything from small to large metal forming parts (such as car seat pans or washing machine rear panels) to large, single-piece plastic components injection-moulded in one shot with clamp forces of up to 5,500 tons – serving not only our core sectors, but also a wide range of industrial applications.

At Craemer Tool Making and Mould Construction, we deliver high-performance solutions tailored to your production needs. Our services include the development of transfer tools and progressive dies for a wide range of steel grades – including high-strength and ultra-high-strength materials – as well as tooling for highly complex metal components. We also specialize in precision injection moulds with shot weights of up to 50 kilograms, built to meet the highest standards of quality and durability.

 Whether you need sophisticated tools for high-volume production or streamlined designs for smaller projects, Craemer is your trusted partner for quality and efficiency. We work hand in hand with you to develop tooling concepts that ensure smooth, reliable, and cost-effective series production.

At Craemer Tool Making and Mould Construction, we prioritize cost transparency just as much as precise manufacturing and strict adherence to deadlines. Serving customers across the metal and plastics industries, both in-house and external, we apply the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach. This means when designing and planning a tool or mould, we factor in all costs throughout its entire lifecycle – including energy, maintenance, repairs, and eventual recycling or reuse – alongside the initial purchasing price. This holistic view ensures every direct and indirect expense is economically assessed before you make your investment decision.

At Craemer Tool Making, we rely on our unique Craemer Circle of Tools (CCoT) – an integrated, cycle-based system that unites multiple divisions in close cooperation. From product development and simulation to tool design, manufacturing, try-out, and maintenance, every step is handled in-house under a single roof. These departments work together smoothly as part of the Craemer CoT network, ensuring a fully coordinated process. For our customers, this means a true “one-stop solution”: a tailored, hassle-free package covering tool making, mould construction, and production – all from a single trusted source.

At Craemer, with all processes managed under one roof and ongoing knowledge transfer among our experts, we embody a “learning” service provider committed to continuous growth and improvement. Our customers are central to everything we do, actively participating in an open exchange of information. This collaborative approach enables us to offer tailored business models in tool making and mould construction, delivering innovative technical solutions right from the start. Our strategies are shaped by factors such as production volume, capacity utilization, service life, downtime or storage location, and the complexity of each tool or mould. Whenever needed, we also support sustainability through remanufacturing by reconditioning and reusing components from metal tools or plastic moulds, helping you reduce waste and extend product life.

With our comprehensive approach through the Craemer Circle of Tools, we focus on keeping your Total Cost of Ownership as low as possible – whether for large or small production runs. We work closely with you to reduce expenses related to tool usage, manufacturing, and components. Leveraging cutting-edge design and automation technologies, digital networking, and advanced data collection methods, we ensure your project benefits from optimized lifecycle costs alongside an efficient purchase price. Start with expert advice and thorough analysis – then invest confidently with Craemer.
