Our Turnkey Manufacturing Solution

We are a turnkey shop that handles your manufacturing needs from product design to building a mold and shipping your assembled product. We use advanced applications and software to integrate with your current operating systems to deliver just-in-time manufacturing, complex product assembly services, mold making, and 3PL warehousing of your parts or products when you need them most.

We use Kanban lean manufacturing and logistics programs to cut costs and streamline production processes. These processes cut our production expenses so that we can charge even lower prices than those of foreign plastic manufacturers.


Our Full-service Capabilities

Our work begins with tooling, or design a mold, for the plastic parts you need. We have machines that range from 240 tons to 2,000 tons so that we can handle your job no matter how large or complicated. Our tooling costs are low enough to make small-batch production and prototyping workable options. Our plastic injection molding process gives your company eco-friendly bragging rights when it comes to reducing its carbon footprint. There is minimal waste in the injection molding process and you can often use recycled plastic for greater product sustainability.


The Benefits of Plastic Injection Molding

Using plastic injection molding as an alternative to metal manufacturing can save an extraordinary amount on production costs – savings that you can pass on to your customers. The benefits of plastic injection molding include:

Better Materials Compatibility

Molded plastic parts perform better than CNC machined parts. You can choose a precise mix of resins in your plastic composition to provide greater chemical and solvent compatibility and corrosion resistance.

High Tolerances and Greater Precision

Our molds are machined to close tolerances and they deliver finely detailed features – no matter how intricate. You’ll be able to produce millions of identical parts with the greatest precision, accuracy, and consistency.

Strength

Molding plastic parts in one piece results in a stronger part. There are fewer quality control issues that result from trimming and drilling. Parts made from injection molding are stronger and more durable than those made from CNC machining processes.

Lower Costs

The per-piece price is much lower with plastic injection molding than other manufacturing processes. That’s especially true when you schedule large production runs, which bring down the cost per piece even more. We can also reduce your costs by consolidating plastic parts and over-molding to consolidate production processes. The greatest way that our plastic manufacturing services save you money is by providing expert mold tooling services. By taking the time to eliminate problems before building your mold, we reduce expensive tooling work in the future.

Faster Turnarounds

Our expert teams work efficiently year-round to meet your most critical deadlines. Plastic injection molding is a fast, repeatable, and efficient manufacturing process.

Scalability

You can schedule small runs or orders up to many thousands of products. Our quality molds ensure a consistent process that’s nearly infinitely repeatable.

Multiple Product Finishes

Injection molding creates a smooth finish that’s usually good enough for the finished appearance of your product. However, you can also choose other surface finishes without needing secondary manufacturing operations.

Reducing Product Weight

Weight is a critical issue for the auto industry, military applications, boat parts, and other products. Plastic injection molding can replace heavy metal parts with little or no difference in strength.

Product Flexibility

With plastics, it’s easy to choose different compounds, colors and properties. You can manufacture products in any color from clear to cyan. You can also choose to mold products in multiple colors.

Using Multiple Plastics

Sometimes, it’s necessary to use multiple plastic components made of different types of plastic. Our engineers can help you ensure that your polymers are compatible with each other under different conditions.

Our Collaborative Work Culture

In today’s B2B manufacturing, satisfying your customers and creating great user experiences is critical for generating long-term loyalty and business success. We understand this implicitly, and we work hard to collaborate with your staff, company stakeholders and design engineering firm.

If you need detailed specs to get a go-ahead from multiple decision-makers, we’re happy to help you shepherd your order through the system. We offer design advice, engineering assistance, and help in designing products that meet industry regulations. We deliver the processes, tools, advice and engineering expertise to translate your designs into finished products on-time and on budget.

Our inventory control program is one of our proudest accomplishments. In today’s lean manufacturing approach, delivering products just-in-time can increase cash flow, prevent out-of-stock products, and increase customer loyalty. We can provide precise manufacturing schedules based on your ordering history, seasonal variances, and other criteria.

Plastic Injection Molding Design Advice

Our experts have 55+ years of plastic manufacturing experience. We know how to optimize your designs to reduce manufacturing costs and maximize product quality. Overmolding, for example, can reduce the number of manufacturing processes required for building a complex product. We can advise you about your choices of lightweight thermoplastics, many of which can withstand extreme environmental challenges.


Products and Industries that Employ Plastic Injection Molding Technology

There are few practical limits to what plastic injection molding can accomplish. We manufacture parts for the automotive industry, consumer goods, industrial goods, pools, spas, boat components, POP displays, electronics and lab and healthcare equipment.

Common injection-molded products include simple plastics like combs and electronic device cases, as well as industrial-strength products for the automotive, aerospace, and petroleum industries. Other industrial applications of plastic injection molding include those of water and sewer systems, architectural and building services, electrical systems, welding services, and lighting systems. Our fully equipped manufacturing facility includes molding machines capable of handling any size part, component, or production run..

When it comes to consumer products, there are unlimited potential applications of plastic injection molding. You’re only limited by your creativity, engineering tolerances, and market demand for your product. We can help you with the engineering and design to ensure a smooth manufacturing process.

We can use any kind of thermoplastic in the manufacturing process, but the most common choices include:

  • Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or ABS
  • Polycarbonate
  • Polyethylene
  • High-impact Polystyrene
  • Polypropylene
  • Polymethylene
  • PVC
  • Nylon
  • Acrylic
  • Polyetherimide

Each compound has different strength and impact resistance levels. We’d be happy to advise you on the relative merits of different thermoplastics for your project or work with your product developers and/or engineers.


Certifications and More

We are ISO 9001:2015 Certified and ISO/TS 16949 compliant. These certifications show that we meet rigorous standards of production for automotive parts manufacturing and other regulated products. However, we go a step beyond technical skill; we offer a partnership with our B2B customers to collaborate and educate them to manufacture the highest quality products for business success. Your success is our success, so contact us today for a consultation or quote on plastic injection molding or any of our other plastic manufacturing services.
