Our Plastic Services for Akron, Ohio

Custom and Automated Injection Molding

Our team specializes in large, complex custom and automated injection molding processes, but we can take on projects of any magnitude. With our 90 injection molding machines, we can easily produce parts from 4 grams to 24 pounds quickly and efficiently.

Structural Foam Molding and Extrusion

Our low-pressure structural foam molding machines can produce parts up to 7 ½ feet in length with wall thicknesses between 0.200 inches and 0.500 inches. We use polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) in our structural foam molding projects so your products always have the properties you need and meet your strictest requirements.

Mold Design and Tooling Transfer

With an in-house tooling room, our team will take charge of quality from the start by creating custom molds for your injection molding projects. This includes single and multi-cavity molds, stack molds, and hot runners. We also have extensive machining capabilities, including CNC milling, CNC EDM, wire EDM, grinding, turning, and drilling.

Secondary Operations

Our manufacturing processes don’t have to stop once your product comes out of the mold. With assembly, decorating, warehousing, and distribution capabilities, we can see your project through from start to finish.
