Plastic Manufacturing

Custom thermoplastic components — injection molded, extruded, overmolded — with mold design, tooling and resin selection managed end to end. You approve samples; we handle everything behind them.

Processes

The right process for the part — not the other way around.

Plastic Injection Molding

High-volume precision parts from single-cavity prototypes to multi-cavity production tools. Hot runner and cold runner tooling, textures, inserts and living hinges — quoted with tooling amortization options.

  • ABS
  • PC
  • PA6 / PA66
  • POM
  • PP / PE
  • TPE / TPU
  • Glass-filled

Plastic Extrusion

Custom profiles, tubes, seals and channels in rigid and flexible compounds. Co-extrusion for dual-durometer parts, cut-to-length or coiled, with custom die tooling.

  • PVC
  • PC
  • ABS
  • PP
  • TPE co-ex
  • Custom profiles

Overmolding & Insert Molding

Soft-touch grips over rigid substrates, molded-in threaded inserts, encapsulated metal components — two materials, one part, no assembly step on your line.

  • 2-shot
  • TPE-on-ABS
  • Brass inserts
  • Encapsulation

Mold & Tooling Management

Mold design review, steel selection, cavitation strategy, tryouts and maintenance — your tooling, professionally managed and documented for its full life.

  • P20 / H13 / S136
  • Mold flow
  • Tryout reports
  • Tool ownership

How we quote plastics

Tooling is a decision, not a surprise.

Plastic part economics live and die on tooling strategy. A single-cavity tool is cheap but slow; a hot-runner multi-cavity tool is fast but capital-heavy. We quote the alternatives side by side — tool cost, piece price and break-even volume — so you can choose deliberately.

Every molded program includes first-article inspection against the drawing, an approved boundary sample, and process settings locked to that approval.
