For customers, the blending of both companies will provide access to an extended network of technical experts capable of solving even the most difficult assembly applications while utilizing the most advanced products on the market. This will include opportunities for all customers to participate in on-going training sessions offered through Tool House U that provides information on the latest in manufacturing innovations, sessions on applied principles, and instruction on purchased tools/and or manufacturing software.

In addition, customers nationwide can take advantage of Rhino Assembly’s ground breaking “Repair Tracker” technology, a repair management system that gives customers a 360-degree view into the repair process.
