Plastic injection molding
The special kind
In the demanding field of plastic injection molding, we are able to leverage the full range of our capabilities through close cooperation between development, design, toolmaking, injection molding production, and assembly. The series production of plastic components is fully automated, including tool removal and storage. This enables us to achieve optimum process optimization for all large series, which is reflected in the results of our integrated quality control.
OUR KNOW-HOW – your advantage
- Series production of complex plastic components
- All common plastics, including fiber- and particle-reinforced plastics (POM, PE, PP, PA, PBT, PET, ABS, PC, PEEK, PMMA, PS, SAN, and all common blends)
- Development and consulting for process-related geometry optimization
- Modification of hardness grades and coloring
- Processing of special mixtures to improve chemical, mechanical, or thermal properties
- Manufacture of hybrid parts, e.g., by overmolding inserts
- Installation, assembly, and functional testing
