Press Consulting & Sourcing

Press Consulting & Sourcing

TPI helps stamping operations make smarter capital decisions. Before you commit to a new press, let our team analyze your specifications against the global pre-owned market — in many cases, a reconditioned press delivers the same performance at roughly half the cost.

New Press or Reconditioned Press?

It’s one of the biggest capital decisions a stamping operation can make — and one where the right answer isn’t always obvious. A new press offers the latest technology and a clean service history. A reconditioned press can deliver comparable performance for a fraction of the investment, often around 50% of new pricing. TPI’s consulting service takes the guesswork out of the comparison, giving you a clear, data-driven look at both paths so you can move forward with confidence.

How We Help You Decide

Specification Analysis

We start by reviewing your new press specification request in detail — tonnage, bed size, stroke, speed, controls, and any application-specific requirements.

Global Market Search

Leveraging our contacts across North America, Europe, and Asia, we scan the pre-owned market for verified matches that meet your specifications.

Recondition & Upgrade Proposal

For qualifying used presses, we deliver a detailed proposal covering reconditioning scope, upgrade options, projected costs, and expected performance.

Side-by-Side Comparison

You receive the tools and numbers needed to compare new versus reconditioned head-to-head, so the decision is grounded in facts — not guesswork.

Whichever Path You Choose, We're With You

The value of working with TPI doesn’t end at the recommendation. If your company chooses a new press, TPI and Stamping Support Group fully support installation and start-up. If you choose a reconditioned press, our team handles the full scope — reconditioning, upgrades, installation, and start-up — backed by decades of pressroom expertise.
