This mold manufacturer delivered a die-cast mold from concept to completion in less than one week for a component that was holding up the production of ventilators.

Bill Berry, President and Owner of Die-Tech & Engineering (DTE) in Wyoming, Michigan, took on a complex die project from in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for a component that is critical to current ventilator production.

Die-Tech and Engineering and Twin Cities Die Casting are just two of the many American manufacturers coming together to help our nation through the COVID-19 crisis. Die Tech and Twin Cities Die Casting are working to help Ventec, a leading supplier of ventilators, to quickly ramp up production. Die-Tech is currently working on tooling for 10 more parts. While quoting the job on Friday, March 20, 2020, Berry was already arranging to get the steel for the die. It was delivered overnight and in production by 2 AM Saturday morning. His team continues to work through the night to get the job done--including last-minute mold design changes! The job is completed and delivered as of March 25, 2020. And, it's important to note that a job of this scope is normally 8 weeks or more. Berry believes that the combined creativity and innovation of American manufacturers is pivotal to the quality of life and security we enjoy today.
