Our dedicated Tool Room opens in Redditch
BPL has opened a dedicated Tool Room in Redditch, bringing our press tools, jigs and fixtures together under one roof.
We've opened a dedicated Tool Room in Redditch, giving our toolmakers a home of their own and bringing the tooling that the rest of the group runs on together under one roof.
The Tool Room makes everything from soft prototype tools to hardened production die-sets, alongside the inspection fixtures, assembly fixtures and hammer forms our press shop, welding and assembly teams rely on every day.
Keeping tooling in-house has always been central to how we work. It means short lead times, quick changes when a design moves on, and tools that are made and maintained by the same people who know how they'll be run. With dedicated space and equipment, the Tool Room can take on more of that work, and do it faster.
It also strengthens how we take a project from prototype to production: soft tooling to prove a part, then hardened die-sets in-house as volumes grow, with no hand-off to an outside toolmaker in between.
