Competencies
For your successful product:
Development and manufacturing expertise
Even in the early concept phase, all important product decisions must be evaluated in terms of costs and benefits.
This cost assessment must take into account not only manufacturing costs, but also development costs, testing costs, approvals, and service and repair costs.
We bring our expertise from more than 35 years of experience in development and manufacturing know-how in the field of injection molding.
Innovation capability
While product and cost were paramount in the past, today the focus is much more on a holistic solution approach. Customers want a comprehensive, one-stop solution, rather than multiple individual services from various suppliers. Often, the necessary staff for development simply aren't available.
Therefore, we offer our customers a comprehensive service from the development of the idea to its implementation in a mature solution.
Our innovative capabilities speak for themselves; take a look at our references. From the systematically developed idea, through a jointly agreed decision matrix, to industrialization in series production.
Furthermore, together with our partners, we also cover the entire value chain.
Sustainable component development - plastics technology
Sustainable business practices, economic activity, and production are arguably the greatest challenges of our time. The demands on product development with regard to sustainability are constantly increasing. The demand for climate-neutral or at least more climate-friendly products is higher than ever.
Realization of weight- and material reduced components with significantly shortened try-out phases, resource and time savings and if possible potential for the use of alternative materials (e.g., recycled materials).
Of course, attention is paid to providing the simplest possible service and a repair-friendly solution.
Smart solutions based on cross industry knowledge
As experienced and practically oriented consultant and partner, we focus on clear and smart solutions, even if these are often not immediately obvious. Our cross industry knowledge often allows us to implement simple and proven solutions from other sectors.
We work openly and support you, even when it comes to exploring new paths.
The goal of our work is to make aspects and structures visible in order to develop ideal solutions.
Manufacturing expertise
We analyze your challenges and develop complex thermoplastic components and assemblies to meet your requirements.
Through systematic idea development, we create a problem analysis, from which a manufacturable concept emerges. Design for manufacturing (DFM) is an essential component for minimizing product costs. At the same time, it ensures that all specification characteristics are maintained throughout the product's lifespan.
We support the entire product development process with our expertise, from the initial idea to the series production readiness of your components or assemblies.

Design suitable for plastic components
A design suitable for plastics is the basis for an economically manufacturable and recyclable product.
Solutions are often found using morphological boxes. This is a creative technique for identifying and analyzing functional aspects for the development of new products or processes.
Together with the customer we use this method to systematically and comprehensively generate innovative solutions.
The systematic analysis of the elements of a problem or challenge leads to a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the task, in order to subsequently identify the most effective solutions or concepts.
Simulation - Prototypes
In structural simulation, we recreate the component behavior in use in order to optimize design concepts and select materials.
Process simulation is used to virtually model manufacturing processes. This allows the material behavior to be evaluated before implementation in the tool. Filling behavior, pressure requirements, weld lines, fiber orientations and temperature control requirements are determined here.
Simulation and prototypes save expensive modification cycles prior to series production equipment.
Industrialization
We bring your ideas to life.
From the development, design and construction of your experimental, pre-series or series tooling to series production in your own facility or with external partners.
We plan and manage the project according to your specifications and schedules.
We take care of procuring tools, fixtures, and testing equipment. We procure necessary operating resources as needed with our partners.
