Rapid Response: Die Refurbishment & Recoating Services Save 70%
A full life-cycle maintenance agreement reduced cost-per-die by 70% and shortened lead times by half.
The Challenge
A large wire mill was discarding slightly worn dies, spending heavily on new replacements. They lacked the internal capability to accurately resize and polish worn tooling.
Titan Engineering Solution
Titan established a weekly pick-up and delivery refurbishment program. We clean, inspect, resize, and re-polish worn dies to the next standard gauge size, restoring them to 'like-new' performance specifications.

The Results
The customer reduced their new die purchases by 60%. The cost of refurbishment is approximately 30% of a new die, resulting in a net savings of 70% on tooling costs annually.
Key Takeaways
- Refurbishment promotes a circular economy.
- Professional resizing ensures original factory tolerances.
- Significant cost reductions without compromising quality.
