At Thermal Press International, we take pride in designing and manufacturing thermal assembly machines that stand the test of time. For nearly 50 years, our equipment has supported critical manufacturing processes across industries – from medical and automotive to consumer electronics and aerospace. In many cases, a TPI machine (or machines) has helped produce a specific part, sub-assembly, or product over the entire life of that item – sometimes for decades.
But what happens when a product becomes obsolete and its manufacturing line is retired?
In some situations, our customers find that the specialized equipment they’ve used for years is still in exceptional condition. Rather than scrap reliable machines, they turn to us for refurbishment – bringing the equipment back to our facility for evaluation, reconditioning, and repurposing for new applications. It’s not a service we widely promote, but it’s one we’re proud to offer when the opportunity is right.
Recently, we had the privilege of refurbishing 15-20 machines for a long-time customer. These presses were originally configured for a legacy production line that has now reached the end of its lifecycle. Our engineering and service teams are updating the machines to meet both production and new development requirements – proving once again that Thermal Press machines are built for longevity and adaptability.
At TPI, we believe durability is a design principle, not an afterthought. Whether your equipment is brand new or decades old, our mission remains the same: deliver, reliable, precise, and lasting performance for your thermal assembly needs.
