Major Industries Ltd is a manufacturer and supplier of tooling for the cold and warm forging industry across the globe. With thirty-five years of experience, the company says it has earnt an unrivalled reputation for quality, reliability and on-time delivery to a wide range of customers in the automotive, aerospace and general fastening sectors.
Major Industries can provide a wide spectrum of tooling and its in-house heat treatment and PVD. coating facilities enable the company, in most cases, to control the entire production process from raw material to finished tool without the need for outside input. This, of course, also ensures enhanced traceability on the rare occasions that such a facility is required.
Its factory in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, employs around 170 people and a new 8,000m2 unit is currently in the process of being built in order to increase Major Industries’ capacity even further.
Back in the 1970s and early 1980s, Major Industries’ main business was heat treatment, which has stood it in good stead over the years by augmenting its knowledge of metallurgical principles. It is therefore able to offer suggestions for a more appropriate choice of raw material for the tool and a tailored heat treatment for any particular application.
Major Industries also has a network of agents around the world who are on hand to deal with the day-to-day requirements of customers and to help solve previously intractable issues affecting tool life where possible.
Mil-Tip patented carbide-tipped piercing punches were initially at the forefront of the company’s endeavour to provide lasting, cost-effective solutions in problem areas and, since then, its has applied its expertise to forming punches, K.O. pins, sleeves, punch and die inserts, die assemblies and a whole range of other tooling.
Complex forms for punches and dies pose no problem and the company also has 3D computer imaging technology to ensure its tooling is helping to create a broad diversity of sophisticated end products for many industrial and commercial applications.
