Engineering-led design and tooling for demanding production environments
Janler is the front door for OEMs that need strong DFM, high-precision tooling, and engineering expertise early in the product lifecycle.
We help customers turn complex parts and concepts into robust tools built for repeatability, long production life, and reliable performance in the press—and, when the program benefits, into a stronger downstream path through molding, automation, and long-term production support inside the Uniphase system. Janler helps customers make stronger decisions earlier so the mold is built not only to be precise on delivery day, but to perform reliably over the full life of the program.
Effective integration starts at the tooling stage
At Janler, tooling is not treated as an isolated deliverable. It is a critical production asset, and its value is measured by how well it performs over time—in dimensional consistency, maintainability, automation compatibility, and long-term reliability.
That is why the work starts with engineering thinking: understanding the part, the process, the risks, and the downstream production realities the tool will need to support.
Engineering depth where it matters most
Early DFM and design input that helps make difficult parts manufacturable
High-precision, multi-cavity tooling built for demanding production requirements
Strong troubleshooting and transfer capabilities when an existing tool is underperforming
A lifecycle mindset focused on how the mold performs in the real world, not just at delivery
Customers engage Janler when the challenge is not simply to build a mold, but to engineer one that can support quality, uptime, repeatable output, and better downstream performance over years of use.
Where Janler fits in the product lifecycle
Janler is typically the right starting point when the primary need is DFM, engineering support, precision tooling, or tool troubleshooting. It is where customers engage when they need confidence in the front end of the lifecycle, before steel is cut or when existing tooling is no longer performing as it should.
Customers can work with Janler as a tooling-only partner or connect with Uniphase when a program benefits from carrying that engineering intent forward into molding, automation, and long-term production. Integration is an option, not a requirement.
Precision work backed by disciplined engineering and quality thinking
Janler is ISO 9001 certified. These standards are critical because tooling decisions shape everything that follows in production.
Our ISO 9001 certification translates to part consistency, repeatability, tool performance, reduced scrap, increased uptime, and the long-term health of your plastics program. That is why the approach is grounded in engineering rigor, manufacturability, and the realities of downstream production, not just tool delivery.

Commonly Asked Questions
Facilities
Janler’s facility reflects the same precision and problem-solving mindset that shapes its work. It is where DFM, mold design, precision tool build, and troubleshooting come together to support programs that demand tight tolerances, stable cavities, repeatability, and long production life.
The environment is designed to support complex tooling work at every stage, from early R&D and engineering through build, refinement, and recovery. For programs that benefit from tighter continuity, Janler also serves as the front door to an integrated solution in partnership with our parent company, Uniphase.
Overview and history
With more than 70 years of tooling heritage, Janler has built its reputation around engineering depth, precision, and the ability to solve difficult manufacturability and tooling problems.
Today, Janler—along with our parent company Uniphase – continues that legacy with a more explicit engineering-led positioning: helping OEM teams create molds that are not only well-built but built to perform reliably in real production environments over time.
