Meet David Phillips

Founder & CEO, Core-Tech Inc.

David started on the floor as a toolmaker in the early 1980s and never really left the floor. Tool design, product design, program management, sales engineering, and executive leadership came next — including a run as president of Silver Basis, then the second-largest mold maker in the world. He founded Core-Tech Inc. in 2000, the North American entity that anchors Core-Tech Group's part-production and Flash Steel business.

  • Founded Core-Tech Inc. in 2000 and has led the North American business through more than two decades of automotive and industrial program transfers.
  • Started on the floor as a toolmaker in the early 1980s — tool design, product design, and program management followed.
  • Held sales, engineering, and executive leadership roles before launching Core-Tech.
  • Former President of Silver Basis, described at the time as the second-largest mold maker in the world.
  • Deep, hands-on experience in mold making, tooling, injection molding, low-volume production, and service-parts programs.
How We Work

Practical, manufacturing-heavy, sales-honest

No corporate filler. The principles below show up in every program, every material decision, and every consulting engagement.

Hands-on, not slideware

Every program is run by people who have spent careers on the floor — toolmakers, process engineers, program managers, and consultants.

Three capabilities, one program

Part Production, Flash Steel, and Consulting & Services work together on the same programs — not as separate vendors you have to coordinate yourself.

One partner, the whole stack

Tooling, molding, assembly, packaging, and logistics coordinated by one team — one PO, one contact.

Concept to product

Engaged at any phase — pre-development, development, production, optimization, or aftermarket and service parts.
