PUNCH INDUSTRY USA, a small yet forward-thinking company focused on sales to mold and dye makers, plastic injection molding companies, and metal stampers, faced challenges in its daily operations that threatened to impede its growth.

"We recognize that many players, like PUNCH INDUSTRY USA, grapple with common pain points. CADDi Drawer was designed to address these challenges head-on," said Yushiro Kato, co-founder and CEO of CADDi. "By leveraging technology and innovation, CADDi Drawer is not just a solution tailored for one company; it's a transformative tool designed to elevate the efficiency and productivity of procurement teams across the entire manufacturing landscape."

With a strategic decision to integrate CADDi Drawer into its operations, PUNCH INDUSTRY USA aims to streamline its quoting processes and optimize drawing data management. CADDi Drawer's proprietary "similar drawing search" function utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze and identify drawings with similar shapes, facilitating efficient data utilization. The company anticipates a significant reduction in turnaround time, enabling the team to deliver quotes efficiently and with newfound speed.

"In the face of challenges, we saw an opportunity for growth," said PUNCH INDUSTRY USA President Hiroshi Noguchi. "CADDi Drawer has the potential to address our current pain points and propel us forward in the competitive manufacturing market. We believe this partnership will redefine how we operate and position us for greater success."
