Yes, Natasha, Werkzeugbau can be tricky. It's also referred to as diemaking. I think you ought to ask this as a separate question with plenty of context.

Werkzeug Further searching has led me to think that "Werkzeug" is referring to "mould".

Additional message I have translated "Werkzeugbau" as tooling in other parts of the text. The title of this particular section is also entitled "Werkzeugbau" and the first sentence is Unsere Produkte sind Pr�zisionsteile. Entsprechend hoch sind die Anforderungen an die Spritzgusswerkzeuge, mit denen wir sie herstellen.". I was just wondering whether "Werkzeugbau" can actually mean the tooling plant. However, "Anlage" is used for a (production) plant in an earlier section of the text. Perhaps it is referring to the "close collaboration between tooling and production ensures...". I have not come up with a final translation for "Form bleiben" yet. It may ne "form, shape or mould".
