Engineering

The Guttenberg Industries Engineering Team offers a group of technically competent Engineers capable of part design recommendations for moldability. We also offer recommendations for assembly operations as well as technical expertise in mold building.

Early involvement with technically experienced personnel utilizing concurrent engineering combined with our expertise in part and mold design, allow us the ability to assist in obtaining quality parts in a timely manner. This is the key to our ongoing success.

As a unified Team, we can work with you through complicated part designs to insure a quality part design and manufacturing process before production tooling is constructed.
