DTI BUILD PROCESS

As Detroit’s Global Tooling Leader, DTI has developed a repeatable process to consistently build tools overseas for the North American Market. DTI’s unique model offers the cost savings of a tool build in Asia while ensuring tools arrive built to North American standards. This saves our customers 20 – 30% on a typical tool build and provides the level of service and expertise of a local tool build.
