TUBE Process(ODM OEM)

TONG DA contract processing

TONG DA has built tube processing machines since 1989 and runs them in-house for contract work. Because the machines are our own design, tooling is made in-house and parameters are tuned in-house, so unusual specifications can be taken on.

When contract work makes sense

  • Volume does not yet justify a machine
  • New product in trial, market not yet proven
  • One operation missing from an existing line
  • Process needs proving before a machine purchase
