Our team of experienced engineers and technicians can complete a host of services, including:
- Testing/diagnostics
- Overhaul repairs
- Block replacement
- Shim and sharpening
- Component replacement
- Refurbishment
- Fine tuning
- & more
And even if you don’t have the piece’s original drawings, our team is able to reverse engineer the die to complete the appropriate maintenance to it.
Bringing Your Dies Up to Standards
Working with an imported die – even one that’s brand new?
What works in one country might not in another. Regardless of where a die was manufactured, our team can complete the necessary adjustments & accompanying testing to bring the component up to meet North American standards and regulations.

Why MAINWAY
A formative partner engaged in ensuring success at every touchpoint
You’d be surprised how significant a little engineering tweak improves the durability, performance or efficiency of a die. Our designers consider all aspects of your value chain and sweat the small stuff so you don’t miss an opportunity to streamline production.
Because we’re stamping experts too, we provide advice on how your tooling design will behave in production. As a result, our dies are easy to install, they run from day one and maintain integrity over time.
Unlike most other stamping shops and design facilities, we keep all services in-house – from design to finished part. An “in-house everything” approach helps you control the lead time and quality of your custom metal stamping dies.
We’ll make you a prototype so accurate, you can’t tell it apart from the real thing – no matter how complex or urgent the request. We test and certify all our dies in-house, and provide total QA and PPAP approval.
Say you need a great progressive die design … are you satisfied only talking to a sales rep? At MAINWAY, we put our entire project team within your reach, to ensure proactive communication of key milestones and recommendations.
Come to MAINWAY when you need sustained quality in heavy-duty situations – we’re talking automotive, appliance, military, trucking, construction, and agricultural jobs. We’re most famous for heat transfer components, but excel with any type of machine design.
