ABOUT PTM

Three toolrooms in the Durban area have been collaborating in an informal cluster over the past few years, and recently formed this new company, PTM, to service the injection moulding industry. The driving force in the formation of the company is the fact that each year South African companies place millions of Rands worth of tooling off shore.

This has led to the local toolrooms not growing in competence. We believe that the major reasons for tooling being placed offshore is the poor response of the local suppliers to produce tools of an international quality standard within the lead time available.
