The UK’s first-ever precision tooling academy is now up and running thanks to a pioneering partnership between In-Comm Training and Brandauer. An investment of over £1m by the two partners has led to the creation of a commercial toolroom at the training provider’s Aldridge location. The facility will produce complex tooling and act as a professional training ground for the toolmakers and designers of the future.

Training will be unlike anything currently on the market, reports In-Comm, with up to 35 individuals in the first 12 months able to learn on live tooling projects that will be producing hundreds of thousands of parts every week. This will give Brandauer and other tooling experts the opportunity to re-shore more manufacturing projects from Asia, the EU and the US. In a massive stamp of approval, a major car manufacturer has agreed to be the first company to put its engineers through the toolmaking course.
