Services
Plastic Injection Moulding
We produce precision plastic components up to 2.5kg using 43 modern Arburg and Engel machines. Our microprocessor-controlled systems ensure exact dimensional accuracy and material properties. This service supports industries requiring technical plastic parts with pressure-tight specifications for automotive, telecoms, and industrial applications.
Gas-Assisted Moulding
Our gas-assisted injection technology improves part aesthetics while reducing material usage in thick sections. This advanced process creates hollow sections within components, maintaining structural integrity while optimising weight and material efficiency for complex technical applications across multiple industries.
Plastic Insert Moulding
We integrate metal or plastic inserts directly into moulded parts during production. This technique enhances component functionality by combining different materials in single units, providing improved mechanical properties and assembly efficiency for technical applications requiring multi-material solutions.
Laser Marking
Our precision laser marking system creates permanent, high-visibility identification on plastic components. This non-contact process ensures clear product traceability and branding without compromising material integrity, ideal for technical parts requiring durable marking solutions.
Ultrasonic Welding
We use ultrasonic technology to create strong, precise bonds between plastic components. This method ensures consistent weld quality without additional materials, maintaining component integrity for technical applications requiring leak-proof or structural connections in assembled parts.
Questions
What industries do you serve with injection moulding?
We support automotive, telecommunications, industrial equipment, and other technical sectors requiring precision plastic components with pressure-tight specifications.
What materials can you work with?
We handle all thermoplastics including ABS, nylon (PA), polycarbonate (PC), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), and PC+ABS blends like Cycoloy.
How do you ensure component quality?
We use process control systems, statistical process control (SPC), and air-decay leak testing to guarantee dimensional accuracy and pressure-tight performance in critical applications.
Do you offer prototyping services?
Yes, we provide prototype development alongside full-scale production, supported by our in-house tool room for rapid design iterations and testing.
What's your production capacity?
Our 24/7 operation across three shifts utilises 43 modern machines with clamping forces from 25-600 tonnes for both small batches and large-volume manufacturing.
How do you handle tooling maintenance?
Our dedicated in-house tool room provides complete mould maintenance, repair, and optimisation services to ensure consistent production quality and minimal downtime.
