Masters of Moulding

Our DNA

We cover a unique wide range of

moulding, finishing and assembling

technologies for mass production in polymer

and elastomer materials. All under one roof.

Thermo-plastic

Thermo-set

Rubber LSR

Single components post-treated

Secondary processes are used to make

your parts perfect and to add properties

Single components as moulded

Products are ready-to-use straight after

the moulding process

Hybrid components

Different materials combined in one

single functional product

Assembly groups

Automated mounting of several

components into one product incl. testing

Perfect componentSuccessful quality product in the market

Technology partnerMaterial- and process competencescombined with modern manufacturing techniques

Concept or design for a product or application

Our engineering team helps you to avoid and overcome hurdles within your project.

We specialize in micron-level precision, metal substitution and the integration of functions or several components in one part.Feasibility studies, plastic-oriented part design, material selection or process optimization are essential steps in this journey.

Zero defect quality

Layer 1: 100% process control

By using 100% control system either in process control or with vision inspection we set our first line of defense against quality failures

Layer 2: Statistical data management

Our second layer is a bi-hourly quality inspections in production

Every shift we measure a shot and monitor the statistical output. The analysis of this data enables us to prevent failures closing our second line of defense

Layer 3: Staff commitment

Our customer care center ensures a high commitment from our staff towards our customers, closing our last line of defense

Customer care centers visualize continuously the quality of our deliveries to underline our strive for excellence.
