Advice and planning

For us, every successful project begins with a detailed consultation. We take the time to understand your needs and work together to develop the best solutions. During the planning stage, we focus on efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness to ensure that your project runs smoothly.

Testing and quality control

We place the highest value on quality. Through comprehensive testing and quality controls, we ensure that every product meets your specifications. Our highly trained employees ensure that your products are reliable, durable and manufactured with the highest precision.

Product design and product development

Our range of services includes not only production, but also product development and product design. We support you in all phases of development:

Market and trend analysis:
We research market trends and identify potential for your product idea.

Idea generation & concept phase:
In this phase, we work together to define the framework conditions, such as manufacturing processes, service life and sustainability.

Product design:
This is where you select the material, shape and color scheme to make your product both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Modeling & definition:
From design sketches and 3D models to CAD/CAM calculations and simulations – we rely on state-of-the-art tools such as SolidWorks for precise developments.

Production

We rely on modern machinery in our production facilities. With injection molding machines that cover clamping forces from 250KN to 2200KN and injection weights from 0.2g to 690g, we offer you a reliable and cost-efficient production process in 2-shift operation. Thanks to automation technology and special functions such as core pulls, air valves, gravimetric dosing devices and drying systems, we can also meet demanding production requirements. We process all standard and special thermoplastics for small and large series.

Assembly and component assembly

We also offer assembly work and the assembly of modules. We take care of the complete assembly of your plastic components and ensure that the assemblies are brought together perfectly.

Frequently asked questions

1. from what annual quantity do we accept inquiries?

For us, the annual quantity is not decisive – it has to be worthwhile for the customer. The tooling and set-up costs should be sensibly integrated into the customer’s amortization calculation. We realize orders with annual quantities of 500 to 1,000,000 parts.

2. are the tool costs included in the unit price?

No, the tool costs are always charged separately. The injection mold thus becomes 100% the property of the customer. The unit prices only include the production costs, including set-up costs, material, packaging and handling.

3. what are the maintenance costs of the injection molds?

The maintenance and service costs of the injection molds are already included in the parts price and are not charged separately. Only wear parts that need to be replaced in the course of use will be charged to the customer additionally.

4 Which materials can be processed?

We process a variety of plastics that meet the different requirements of our customers. These include engineering plastics, high-temperature plastics and special composite materials. We will be happy to advise you on the optimum materials for your application.

5 How long does it take to develop and produce a new injection mold?

The duration of development and production depends on the complexity of the injection mold and the specific requirements of the project. As a rule, we need several weeks to a few months to develop, design and manufacture a new mold. We will be happy to provide an exact estimate after discussing the project.

6. can you also produce small series?

Yes, we are flexible in production and can realize both small series and large series of up to 1,000,000 parts per year. Our aim is to adapt production precisely to the needs and requirements of our customers.

Plastics technology is a key element in numerous branches of industry and plays a decisive role in the development and production of innovative products. It encompasses the processing and application of plastics, which are indispensable in areas such as the automotive industry, medical technology, electronics and packaging due to their versatility and adaptability.

What is plastics technology?

Plastics technology deals with the production, processing and application of plastics. It includes various processes such as injection molding, extrusion and thermoforming, which make it possible to produce components with specific properties and shapes. By using modern technologies, plastics can be adapted to individual requirements, whether in terms of strength, flexibility or temperature resistance.

Areas of application for plastics technology

Thanks to its versatility, plastics technology is used in numerous industries:

Automotive industry: Lightweight yet robust components help to reduce vehicle weight and thus improve energy efficiency.
Medical technology: Sterile and biocompatible plastic products, such as syringes and implants, have become an integral part of everyday medical practice.
Electronics: plastic housings, insulation and connectors provide protection and functionality for electronic devices.
Packaging industry: Plastic packaging protects products from external influences and extends their shelf life.

Advantages of plastics technology

The use of plastics offers numerous advantages:

Weight reduction: Plastics are lighter than many traditional materials, which is particularly advantageous in the automotive and aviation industries.
Design freedom: Complex shapes and structures can be easily realized with plastic.
Cost savings: Efficient manufacturing processes allow large quantities to be produced cost-effectively.
Resistance: Many plastics are resistant to chemicals, corrosion and weathering.

Sustainability in plastics technology

With the growing awareness of environmental issues, sustainable plastics technology is becoming increasingly important. Recycling, the development of biodegradable plastics and the optimization of production processes are helping to reduce environmental impact and use resources more efficiently.

Conclusion

Plastics technology is a dynamic and innovative field that contributes significantly to the development of modern products. Continuous research and technological advances are constantly expanding the possible uses of plastics, leading to more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions.
