Reface and Rework Services
Penn United offers reface, rework, and repair of existing tools to ensure expedited delivery and maintain production schedules. By maintaining meticulous inventory control and dedicated resources, we can often produce new tools or repair existing ones overnight. Operating independently from the main plant, the division inspects all work internally and is committed to quick turnarounds. This approach helps customers avoid “press down” situations, maintain full production, and reduce the need for excess tooling inventory.
