KBX Engineering is your sourcing specialist for Asian tooling.
With more than 60 years of combined experience in the tooling
build and program management. We offer our customers total
solutions management of their projects.
• Automotive Industry

• Electronics Industry
Overview
Our services provide our customers with the most cost effective way to design, build and try out their
tooling by utilizing our International Tool & Die Group. This group includes KBX design engineers and
program management personnel located in North America. Our group consist of several North American
Tool & Die facilities that assist in 3D Design / Engineering changes / Die Try Out & Service
Maintenance.
In China we have a group of tool & die manufactures we use to build the actual dies based on our North
American designs. We have KBX Engineers and Metallurgist located in China that are placed in the
tooling house we specify for each individual program. These engineers manage each individual tool
build from start to finish providing digital picture and time line reports as the tool builds progress.
Having multiple resources to choose from allows us to place your project in the most cost effective
source, meeting both your quality and timing requirements.
We encourage and invite our North American customers to visit our suppliers. However, we also
understand the cost of making multiple trips overseas to monitor individual projects. Our services are
here to limit those costs and allow our American engineering group in China to shoulder those
responsibilities.

dimensional layout using PC Demis
software for CMM.
• First Hits in country require inspection
gages. KBX offers 3rd party certified gages
and R&R studies for all gages built in
China
