Services
Thermoplastic Injection Moulding
Our precision injection moulding combines advanced machinery with material science expertise. We produce complex components using engineering-grade thermoplastics, maintaining tight tolerances for automotive and industrial applications. The process ensures consistent quality through automated monitoring systems.
Structural Foam Moulding
This low-pressure technique creates lightweight yet rigid components with excellent strength-to-weight ratios. Ideal for large enclosures and structural parts, our ESF process integrates material efficiency with dimensional stability for demanding environments.
DCPD Moulding
Dicyclopentadiene processing delivers cost-effective solutions for large, durable components. Our expertise in reactive polymer processing ensures optimal performance characteristics in chemical-resistant and structural applications across multiple industries.
Robotic Painting
The 56-station robotic paint line with ABB technology achieves Class A surface finishes. Our closed-loop system ensures precise paint application with environmental controls for consistent quality in high-specification automotive and industrial coatings.
Toolmaking
In-house toolroom facilities support rapid prototyping and production tooling. Using Mikron and Goratu CNC equipment, we create precision moulds up to 4m in size, with capabilities in high-speed machining and 3D scanning for dimensional accuracy.
