Materials? We Work with What You Provide
One of the advantages of working with Paragon is flexibility. While many shops focus on certain materials, our machinists and tool builders are experienced in working with whatever material the customer specifies.
Whether it’s glass-reinforced composites, SMC (Sheet Molding Compound), or specialty polymers, we create tooling that is engineered around the material’s properties—ensuring durability, cycle efficiency, and consistency in finished parts.
See Your Tool Run: On-Site at Paragon
Why not sample your new or refurbished tool in-house, before it ever leaves our facility. Paragon employees pride themselves on their craftsmanship and we love to showcase that with your tool at our in-house press.
We’ve dedicated a portion of our plant as a Customer Sample Area, where customers can visit and see their compression tool operate in real time. This is made possible by our 3,000-ton Williams & White molding press, built specifically for full-scale mold sampling.
This setup allows for:
- Tool debugging and performance verification
- Fine-tuning of process parameters before production
- Early identification of design or fitment issues
- Real-time customer feedback and approval
This in-house capability streamlines the production process and ensures your tool is production-ready the moment it hits your facility.
Full Life Cycle Support
We don’t just build the tool and walk away. Paragon supports your compression tooling throughout its life cycle.
Services Include:
- Design Review and DFM Input
- On-Site Mold Trials
- Engineering Change and Rework Services
- Preventive Maintenance and Repair
- Tool Audits and Performance Review
Our Goal is to be a Partner—Not Just a Supplier.

“It’s the people, that make the difference!”
