AMP holds IATF 16949 for automotive-grade quality management, ISO 9001 for general quality systems, ISO 22000 and HACCP for food and beverage production, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISCC PLUS for sustainable materials sourcing. Both the Taiwan and Thailand facilities maintain their own IATF 16949 certification, meaning automotive-grade standards apply regardless of which facility fulfills your order.

These certifications are active and current, not in-progress. For procurement teams that require certified suppliers as a condition of vendor qualification, AMP can provide documentation at the point of inquiry.

The Taiwan facility operates 52 injection molding machines with a clamp force range of 30 to 3200 tons, supporting production of finished parts from approximately 1 gram to 25 kilograms. This range accommodates small precision components such as electronic connectors as well as large structural automotive parts, including bumpers, floor mats, and radiator grilles.

The Thailand facility runs 22 machines from 65 to 1300 tons, producing parts from approximately 1 gram to 4 kilograms. Together, the two facilities provide OEM and ODM buyers with flexible capacity across a broad range of part sizes and production volumes.

AMP processes a comprehensive range of thermoplastics including ABS, PP, PC, PE, Nylon, PS, PCTG, ASA, TPE, TPR, POM, PBT, PEEK, PPS, and PEI. Composite materials including PC+ASA, PC+ABS, and glass fiber-reinforced compounds are also processed routinely. This material breadth allows buyers to specify high-performance engineering plastics without sourcing from a separate specialist.

For automotive applications specifically, high-heat and chemically resistant materials such as PEEK, PPS, and glass fiber composites are used in underhood and structural components. For food and beverage applications, food-contact compliant materials are processed under the facility's ISO 22000 and HACCP-certified conditions.

AMP controls the complete tooling process, from mold design and engineering drawings through to quality inspection, ensuring that your IP and dimensional requirements are managed under a single accountable partner. Physical mold fabrication is handled either in-house or through a vetted network of cooperative toolmakers, including suppliers in China, depending on project requirements and your cost targets.

This means you get the responsiveness and IP control of a dedicated tooling team without being locked into a single production method. Engineering changes, cavity modifications, and mold maintenance are managed by AMP regardless of where the steel was cut.

AMP manufactures a broad range of automotive interior and exterior plastic components including floor mats, headlight housings, lamp covers, radiator grilles, bumpers, wheel covers, fender trims, mud guards, B pillars, door armrests, door trim, door trim panels, fans, oil pans, blower assemblies, center defroster nozzles, sunshade parts for roof systems, and side window sunshade parts.

The customer base for automotive supply includes Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers serving brands such as Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Hyundai, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Audi, Harley-Davidson, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Bentley, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, and Porsche. Parts are exported primarily to the United States, Canada, Germany, South Korea, and Japan.

The Thailand facility was established to serve customers who require a second production base outside of Taiwan, particularly those managing geopolitical supply chain exposure related to cross-strait risk. Thailand hosts eight of the world's major automakers and provides access to a broader set of regional trade agreements and economic organizations than Taiwan's current diplomatic position allows.

For OEM buyers, dual-facility sourcing from Taiwan and Thailand provides geographic redundancy without requiring a change of supplier. Both facilities operate under IATF 16949 certification and process the same engineering plastics, which means quality consistency is maintained across production sites. The Thailand facility currently supplies Sharp, Delta, Bauer, Asahi, TYC, Lexmark, and Siamdent, among others.

Surface finishing is performed in-house at the Taiwan facility as part of AMP's vertically integrated production model. Finishing is handled as a downstream stage of the same production workflow, not routed to an outside contractor. This means surface quality is managed under the same quality system and the same point of accountability as the molded component itself.

For buyers sourcing components that require specific surface treatments, texture specifications, or cosmetic finishing standards, performing this step in-house removes the lead time, communication, and quality variation risk that comes with multi-supplier finishing chains. Your finished component leaves one facility, not three.

For ODM projects, AMP's in-house R&D team supports product development from design through tooling and first-article production. For OEM supply, AMP manufactures to buyer-supplied specifications, with in-house tooling capability meaning that mold development remains under the buyer's IP control throughout the engagement.

Both paths are supported by smart manufacturing systems and ongoing equipment investment, including the progressive transition to electric injection machines that deliver tighter process stability and lower energy consumption. Buyers developing new parts for automotive, electronics, food and beverage, or home appliance applications can engage AMP at the design stage rather than arriving with a finished specification.

Taiwan-based manufacturing provides a direct alternative for buyers who are reducing China sourcing exposure without accepting a trade-off on quality, certification status, or production capability. AMP is a 30-year-old manufacturer headquartered in Taiwan with IATF 16949 certification, in-house tooling, and active supply relationships with global automotive and electronics brands.

The distinction matters to procurement teams navigating tariff exposure, country-of-origin compliance, or ESG supply chain transparency requirements. Taiwan-origin components carry a clean, documentable supply chain narrative. Combined with the Thailand facility as a second production option, buyers have two non-China manufacturing bases under a single supplier relationship.

Beyond automotive, AMP manufactures precision plastic components for electronics, food and beverage, home appliances, HVAC, green energy, sports equipment, road safety products, and fire suppression equipment. The Thailand facility additionally serves medical component buyers. This multi-industry capability means AMP can consolidate plastic injection molding supply across product categories for buyers sourcing across divisions.

Industry-specific certifications back each category: IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 for automotive and general manufacturing, ISO 22000 and HACCP for food and beverage contact applications, ISO 14001 for environmental management compliance, and ISCC PLUS for buyers with sustainable materials sourcing requirements. Buyers do not need to qualify separate suppliers to meet the compliance standards of different product categories.

Over-molding is the right choice when your part requires two materials bonded in a single cycle, such as a rigid substrate with a soft-touch grip, or when a metal insert (threaded bushing, terminal, fastener) needs to be encapsulated in plastic without a secondary assembly step. It reduces part count, eliminates adhesive or mechanical joining, and improves dimensional consistency between the two materials.

For buyers, the decision typically comes down to whether the assembly step you would otherwise run downstream is adding labor cost, introducing alignment variation, or creating a quality inspection burden. If any of those apply, over-molding usually pays back across the program lifetime.

Supercritical foaming suits parts where weight reduction, dimensional stability, or thermal insulation matter to the application. The microcellular structure produced by the process reduces part weight by approximately 8 to 15 percent depending on geometry and resin, while also reducing sink marks, warpage, and internal stress in thick-walled sections.

Typical applications include automotive interior trim where weight contributes to fuel economy or EV range, food and beverage containers requiring thermal insulation, and home appliance housings where dimensional stability across temperature cycles matters. We assess suitability against your part geometry and resin selection at the quoting stage.

Achievable tolerance depends on the resin shrinkage characteristics, part geometry, wall thickness, and tooling design rather than a single facility-wide specification. Unfilled commodity resins (PP, PE) shrink more and hold looser tolerance than filled engineering grades (PA-GF, PC-GF), which shrink less predictably and allow tighter dimensional control.

For your specific part, we assess tolerance feasibility against the resin specification, mold layout, and inspection method at the DFM review stage. Tighter tolerance bands are typically achievable by adjusting gate placement, cooling design, and cavity pressure control rather than by inspecting more parts after the fact.

Glass fiber-reinforced compounds (PA-GF, PBT-GF, PC-GF, PPS-GF) and high-temperature resins (PEEK, PPS, PEI) are processed routinely on machines configured with hardened screws and barrels to manage abrasive wear. Drying protocols, melt temperature windows, and screw speed parameters are managed per resin specification rather than applied generically across the fleet.

These materials are common in your automotive underhood, electronics structural, and HVAC component applications, where temperature resistance, dimensional stability, and mechanical strength are critical. Material selection support is available at the program quoting stage if you are evaluating alternative resins for cost, performance, or supply availability.

Yes. DFM review is included in every program before tooling is cut. Our engineering team reviews your part design for wall thickness uniformity, draft angle adequacy, gate location, ejection strategy, parting line placement, and resin shrinkage compensation. Issues identified at this stage are inexpensive to resolve; the same issues found after tooling is cut are expensive.

The DFM output is a marked-up part review with recommended changes, supported by mold flow analysis where the geometry warrants it. You retain final design authority. The intent is to surface problems before they reach the press, not to redesign your part.

Continuous 24-hour operation shortens program lead times and improves machine utilization, which keeps your unit cost competitive on longer production runs. It also means scheduled tooling, color changes, and maintenance windows are absorbed without extending your delivery date.

For OEM buyers running multi-program supply contracts, 24-hour capability means our scheduling team can sequence your runs against other programs without forcing trade-offs between delivery commitments. It is also the operational baseline that supports the IATF 16949 capacity planning requirements your automotive procurement team will audit against.

Our press fleet is progressively transitioning to electric injection machines, which deliver tighter shot-to-shot repeatability, lower energy consumption, and cleaner operation than hydraulic equivalents. Electric presses are typically assigned to programs where dimensional precision, surface finish, or process stability is critical, including most automotive and electronics components.

Hydraulic machines remain in service for large-tonnage structural parts where the shot size, clamping requirements, or tooling configuration favors hydraulic clamping. The selection is made program by program based on part requirements rather than by buyer or industry category.

Yes. Mold transfer programs are supported, including incoming mold inspection, sample run validation, and first-article approval against your existing part specification. We assess each transferred mold for steel condition, cavity wear, cooling layout, and venting before committing to a production schedule.

Where transferred tooling needs refurbishment, repair work is performed in-house at our Taiwan facility under the same quality system as new mold development. This means a single point of accountability across the transfer, refurbishment, and production phases, without coordinating between separate tooling and molding suppliers.

For IATF 16949 automotive programs, we provide the documentation set required for your part approval process, including first-article inspection reports, dimensional measurement results, material certifications, process capability data (Cpk), and statistical process control records. The documentation format is aligned with the requirements of your Tier 1 customer or OEM specification.

For programs requiring full PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) submissions or equivalent, we work to the specific level and scope your procurement team requires. Documentation is provided as part of the production handover, not as a separate billable deliverable.

Automated CCD visual inspection runs at the press on selected lines, catching surface defects (sink marks, flow lines, contamination, short shots) and dimensional anomalies before parts reach secondary operations. This shifts defect detection upstream, reducing the cost of inspecting or reworking parts after assembly, finishing, or packaging.

CCD inspection is most useful on programs with high cosmetic standards, tight cycle times, or downstream operations where defects compound (paint, plating, assembly). It is assigned program by program based on the part specification and your quality requirements rather than applied uniformly across the fleet.

Both. Our largest machining center handles work up to 3,000 by 2,100 by 1,000mm, so we can cut large tool bases for parts like bumpers or floor mats in a single setup, while our smaller high-speed centers handle fine cavity detail on compact components. The eight-machine range means we are not forced to split a large tool across beds or turn away oversized work.

Yes. Three of our eight machining centers are 5-axis boring and milling machines. 5-axis lets us reach complex mold geometries and undercuts in fewer setups, which reduces repositioning error and holds better accuracy across large or contoured tool bodies.

Our centers run Heidenhain and Siemens controls from Germany and FANUC and Mitsubishi controls from Japan, on machines reaching spindle speeds of 26,000 RPM. These are the same control platforms used across the precision tooling industry, which matters for surface finish, repeatability, and the ability to run demanding cutting strategies on hardened steel.

Our high-speed centers and 5-axis machines are built for hard-milling and detailed steel work, which is what durable production tooling requires, including tooling for abrasive materials such as glass-fiber-reinforced compounds. Steel grade for a specific tool is matched at the design stage to your part, expected volume, and resin.

Every component is measured against the original 3D design before it moves to assembly. We use a Mitutoyo coordinate measuring machine for critical dimensions and a GOM ATOS 3D scanner that captures full-surface geometry down to 1 micron, so any deviation is found and corrected at the machining stage rather than after the mold is built.

A molder that buys tools from a separate shop manages a handoff every time a tool needs adjustment. Because we machine and verify tools in the same facility that molds your part, changes and corrections move directly between our machining floor and our injection lines, which shortens revisions and keeps one supplier responsible for the result.

Yes. Once your mold is machined, assembled, and fitted on our in-house mold-fitting press, we trial it on our production injection machines as they become available, fitting the trial into our live production schedule. We check the trial parts for fill, surface finish, correct dimensions, and any visible defects, then adjust and trial again until the parts come out stable and consistent across a sample run. Only molds that produce good, in-spec parts are signed off, so the tool you receive has already been proven by the parts it makes.

Yes. As well as the molds we build for our own production, we make export tooling for customers who run molding in their own factories, whether overseas or in their home country. We design, machine, assemble, trial, and check your mold in-house before it ships, so it arrives ready for production rather than needing more work at your end. Send us your part geometry, target resin, and machine specifications, and we will engineer the tool to run on your equipment.

We sign off based on measurement, not opinion. Your mold components and first parts are checked on a Mitutoyo S9168 coordinate measuring machine, with a 900 by 1,600 by 800mm measuring range and 1,500kg load capacity for high-accuracy point measurement. For full-surface checking, we use GOM ATOS 3D optical scanning, which compares your whole part against your original CAD model down to 1 micron resolution on fine-detail volumes and 5 microns on medium-to-large parts. You receive a clear dimensional record to review before the tool is released.

Our mold-fitting press handles assemblies up to 2,200 by 1,800mm, with 2,300mm of stroke and 300 tons of clamping force, which lets us fit and prove large multi-cavity and structural tools. For the parts themselves once your tool is in production, our injection capacity covers finished parts from roughly 1g up to 25kg per shot at our Taiwan facility.

Screen printing, transfer printing, in-mold labeling, laser engraving, spray painting, and sandblasting are all performed in-house at our Taiwan and Thailand facilities. None of these are outsourced to third-party suppliers.

Yes. Our finishing processes cover products across consumer electronics, home appliances, automotive components, and food containers. The right process depends on your material, part geometry, and decoration requirements. Include your finishing spec in your RFQ and we will confirm what applies.

We laser engrave ABS, PC, ABS+PC, PA, and PBT. The process produces permanent markings including logos, QR codes, barcodes, serial numbers, batch codes, and regulatory symbols such as CE, RoHS, and voltage ratings. Because each part can be programmed individually, variable data such as serial numbers can differ unit to unit at no added setup cost.

Both. Spray coating improves surface hardness, abrasion resistance, UV resistance, and weather resistance in addition to providing color finish. Functional coating requirements should be specified in your RFQ so we can confirm the right coating system for your application.

In-mold labeling integrates a pre-printed label directly into the part during the injection molding cycle, so no secondary decoration step is required. The label is bonded to the part rather than applied afterward, which produces a more durable finish. It is most commonly used on food containers and consumer packaging where high-resolution graphics and color consistency matter.

Transfer printing and in-mold labeling are both used on food containers we produce. If your application has specific compliance requirements, include them in your RFQ so we can confirm the appropriate process and materials.

AMP holds IATF 16949 for automotive-grade quality management, ISO 9001 for general quality systems, ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 22000 and HACCP for food and beverage production, and ISCC PLUS for sustainable materials sourcing. Both the Taiwan and Thailand facilities hold their own independent IATF 16949 certification, meaning automotive-grade quality standards apply regardless of which facility fulfills your order. These certifications are active and current. For procurement teams that require certified suppliers as a condition of vendor qualification, AMP can provide documentation at the point of inquiry.

The Taiwan facility operates 52 injection molding machines from 30 to 3,200 tons, supporting finished parts from approximately 1 gram to 25 kilograms. The Thailand facility operates 22 machines from 65 to 1,300 tons for parts up to 4 kilograms. This range accommodates small precision components such as defroster nozzles and blower assemblies, as well as large structural parts including bumpers, radiator grilles, and floor mats for full-size vehicles.

For automotive applications, AMP processes PP, ABS, PC, PC+ASA, PC+ABS, PPS, PEEK, Nylon, PET, and glass fiber-reinforced composites. High-heat and chemically resistant grades including PEEK, PPS, and glass fiber composites are used for underhood and structural components where dimensional stability and material performance are critical. Standard thermoplastics including PP and ABS are used for interior trim, door panels, floor coverings, and exterior accessories.

AMP takes ownership of your entire tooling process, from mold design and engineering drawings through quality inspection, so your IP and dimensional requirements rest with one accountable partner. Depending on project scope and cost targets, we handle physical mold fabrication in-house or through a carefully vetted network of cooperative toolmakers, including trusted suppliers in China.

AMP produces a broad range of injection-molded interior and exterior automotive parts. Interior parts include floor mats, door armrests, door trim, door trim panels, blower assemblies, oil pans, fans, center defroster nozzles, and sunshade parts for roof systems and side windows.

AMP produces injection-molded plastic containers and packaging for food and beverage applications. Commonly produced parts include food storage containers, ice cream boxes, yogurt cups, butter boxes, plastic cups, and beverage packaging. If you have a specific component type not listed here, contact us with your drawings and we will confirm whether it falls within our production scope.

AMP holds ISO 22000 for food safety management systems and HACCP certification, alongside ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management. Customers with specific compliance requirements should include these in their RFQ so we can confirm whether our certifications meet your vendor qualification criteria.

Food and beverage components are produced at both our Taiwan and Thailand facilities. The Taiwan facility operates 52 injection machines from 30 to 3,200 tons and produces parts from approximately 1 gram to 25 kilograms. The Thailand facility operates 22 machines from 65 to 1,300 tons for parts up to 4 kilograms. Both facilities run 24-hour production with electric injection machines.

For food and beverage applications, AMP processes PP, PS, PCTG, PE, and ABS. PP is the most common material for food containers and is the primary substrate for in-mold labeling applications. Material selection for food-contact applications should be confirmed at the RFQ stage based on your specific end-use and compliance requirements.

In-mold labeling integrates a pre-printed label directly into the part during the injection molding cycle, so no secondary decoration step is required. The label is bonded to the part rather than applied afterward, producing a more durable finish with high-resolution graphics and full-color designs. It is performed in-house and is commonly used on the food containers and packaging we produce.

AMP produces injection-molded plastic components for a range of electronics applications. Parts include monitor housings, LCD panel carriers and brackets, remote control housings, Wi-Fi router housings, electronic component connectors, and IC tray components. Named customers include Sharp, Garmin, Delta, and Chimei. If you have a specific component type not listed here, contact us with your drawings and we will confirm whether it falls within our production scope.

Electronics components are produced at both our Taiwan and Thailand facilities. The Taiwan facility operates 52 injection machines from 30 to 3,200 tons and produces parts from approximately 1 gram to 25 kilograms. The Thailand facility operates 22 machines from 65 to 1,300 tons for parts up to 4 kilograms. Both facilities run 24-hour production with electric injection machines. Sharp is supplied from both facilities; Chimei is supplied from Taiwan.

For electronics applications, AMP processes ABS, PC, PC+ABS, PP, PS, PCTG, PBT, POM, and glass fiber-reinforced composites. ABS and PC+ABS are commonly used for housings and enclosures where surface finish and impact resistance matter. PBT and POM are used for connectors and mechanical sub-components requiring dimensional stability and wear resistance. Engineering grades including glass fiber-reinforced composites are available for structural or high-heat applications.

AMP holds ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management across both facilities. Electronics customers with additional supplier qualification requirements should include these in their RFQ and we will confirm whether our current certifications meet your vendor approval criteria.

Yes. For OEM projects, we manufacture to your existing designs and specifications. For ODM projects, our R&D team can support product development from concept through to production-ready tooling and parts. In both cases, in-house mold tooling means design and engineering work stays within our facility rather than being distributed across multiple suppliers.

Our Taiwan facility runs 52 injection machines from 30 to 3,200 tons, which covers thin-wall precision parts like bezels and switches through larger casings. Thailand adds 22 machines from 65 to 1,300 tons for regional production. The tonnage we assign depends on part size and geometry, and we confirm the right press for your part at the quoting stage.

We handle commodity resins such as PP, PE, PS, and ABS, engineering thermoplastics including PC, PA, POM, PBT, PCTG, PET, ASA, PPS, and PEI, and glass-fiber-reinforced composites of these grades for parts that need added strength or stiffness. Fan blades, impellers, and load-bearing brackets often call for reinforced or engineering resins, and we help match the material to your part at the program stage.

Yes. Our Taiwan and Thailand facilities let you choose your country of origin or run a dual-source program across both sites. This is useful when you need a second production base, want to supply ASEAN markets locally, or are managing supply chain risk across regions.

Many appliance parts, like control panels and outer casings, need a clean visible surface as well as a working fit with the parts around them. We process the resins and run the finishing steps these parts call for, and we verify dimensions against your approved part specification before parts move to assembly or shipment.

AMP produces injection-molded components for customers in green energy, sporting goods, consumer products, road safety, industrial equipment, and medical-adjacent applications. Parts produced include water filter bottle bodies, solar energy components, wind turbine blades, sporting goods plastic parts, bicycle chain covers, bicycle seats, electric scooter housings, paintball gun holsters, printer plastic parts, massage chair housings, alarm housings, AED defibrillator housings, lubricant fill syringes, screw storage boxes, modular logistics boxes, adjustable leveling feet, and plastic pallets. If your product category is not listed, contact us with your drawings and we will confirm whether it falls within our production scope.

For general industry applications, AMP processes PP, ABS, PC, PE, PET, PA+GF, ABS+GF, PC+ABS, and other engineering grades depending on application requirements. Material selection is confirmed at the RFQ stage based on your part geometry, end-use environment, and any applicable performance requirements.

Components for other industries are produced at both our Taiwan and Thailand facilities depending on part size, volume, and customer location. The Taiwan facility operates 52 injection machines from 30 to 3,200 tons for parts from approximately 1 gram to 25 kilograms. The Thailand facility operates 22 machines from 65 to 1,300 tons for parts up to 4 kilograms. Both facilities run 24-hour production with electric injection machines.

Yes. For OEM projects, we manufacture to your existing designs and specifications. For ODM projects, our R&D team can support product development from concept through to production-ready tooling and parts. In both cases, in-house mold tooling means design and engineering work stays within our facility rather than being distributed across multiple suppliers.

Yes. Parts produced across other industry categories range from small precision components to large structural assemblies including wind turbine blades, modular logistics boxes, and plastic pallets. Our Taiwan facility handles parts up to 25 kilograms per shot, and our mold-fitting press accommodates tooling assemblies up to 2,200 by 1,800mm. Contact us with your part geometry and production requirements and we will confirm feasibility.

The process begins with an NDA, followed by your 2D and 3D files for quoting. Once terms are agreed, you supply your mold manufacturing specifications and injection machine spec sheet. We then conduct DFM and mold flow analysis and review the mold structure with you before cutting steel. From there, we machine, assemble, and trial the mold, check first-article parts dimensionally, and ship with a full documentation package. Air and sea freight are both supported, with samples sent via international courier during the trial phase at receiver's cost.

Lead times depend on mold size and structural complexity. As a baseline for standard mold structures: small molds for machines under 285 tons take 35 to 45 days; medium molds for 350 to 600-ton machines take 45 to 60 days; large molds for 800-ton and above take 55 to 80 days. Complex mold structures require additional time beyond these baselines. Confirmed lead times are provided at the quotation stage once your drawings have been reviewed.

The largest mold we have produced weighed approximately 33 tons. Our mold-fitting press handles assemblies up to 2,200 by 1,800mm with 2,300mm of stroke and 300 tons of clamping force, which lets us assemble and trial large multi-cavity and structural tools in-house.

Yes. Every export mold is trialed on our production injection machines before it ships. We check trial parts for fill, surface finish, correct dimensions, and visible defects, then adjust and trial again until output is stable. Small-batch trial production of approximately four hours is available to confirm mold operation under production-representative conditions. Only molds that produce good, in-spec parts are released for shipment.

First-article parts are checked on a Mitutoyo S9168 coordinate measuring machine with a 900 by 1,600 by 800mm measuring range, and on a GOM ATOS 3D scanning system that captures full-surface geometry at resolutions down to 1 micron on fine-detail volumes and 5 microns on medium-to-large parts. You receive a dimensional record against your original CAD model before the mold is released.

Yes. Your mold manufacturing specification can include preferred component brands and steel grade requirements. We provide steel certifications as part of the documentation package shipped with the mold. Common questions at the inquiry stage cover DFM approach, mold flow analysis, steel grade selection, and precision tolerances, all of which are addressed during the pre-production review.

Both air and sea freight are supported depending on your timeline and budget. Trial samples during the development phase are sent via international courier at receiver's cost. We will coordinate with your logistics requirements at the time of order.

Our engineering scope covers product design review, DFM analysis, mold flow simulation, mold design and manufacture, process development, trial validation, and production handover. For OEM projects, we typically engage from DFM review onward using your existing 2D and 3D files. For ODM projects, we can support from concept and prototype through to production-ready tooling and parts.

Yes. We start with a DFM feasibility review against your 2D and 3D files, followed by CAE mold flow analysis using SolidWorks Plastics. Findings and proposed structural revisions are documented and reviewed with you before mold design is finalized, which reduces the risk of costly modifications after steel is cut.

Both. OEM projects are manufactured to your drawings and specifications with engineering support focused on manufacturability and process development. For ODM projects, our team can engage earlier in the cycle, providing product design, material selection, prototyping, and mold engineering as part of a single scope of work.

Product and mold design are handled in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, UG NX Mold Wizard, and SolidWorks Mold Tools, with CAE mold flow analysis in SolidWorks Plastics. Mold construction uses standard components from DME, HASCO, MISUMI, FUTABA, and LKM to keep your maintenance and spare parts supply globally accessible. Quality engineering is run to the IATF 16949 framework for automotive programs and ISO 9001 for non-automotive.

Because product engineering, tooling, and molding all sit within one facility, engineering changes and cavity modifications are scheduled and executed internally rather than routed through external mold shops. This removes handoff delays during the trial phase and gives your program a single point of accountability from DFM through to mass production.

Lead times depend on mold size and complexity. Small molds under 285T typically take 35 to 45 days, medium molds from 350T to 600T take 45 to 60 days, and large molds above 800T take 55 to 80 days. These are baseline figures and are adjusted for structural complexity, surface finish requirements, and any special component sourcing agreed at project initiation.

A mutual NDA is signed before any engineering data is exchanged. Program files are held under access control within our PLM system, and drawings, revisions, and mold records are treated as customer confidential. Access is limited to the engineering and production personnel assigned to the program.

At a minimum, 2D and 3D part files, target annual volume, target market, and any specific material or component brand requirements. Mold specifications, injection machine data, and packaging requirements are typically shared once the project is confirmed under NDA.

Facility selection is based on customer market coverage, tariff and logistics considerations, and equipment availability for the specific program. Taiwan supports parts from 30T to 3,200T with 52 injection machines, and Thailand supports parts from 65T to 1,300T with 22 injection machines. We recommend the facility that best fits the program during the quotation stage.

Exported molds are shipped with a complete history package including steel certificates, component BOM, cooling circuit documentation, processing conditions, and a pre-export inspection checklist. Shipping is supported by air or sea freight with commercial and export documentation prepared to the customer's destination country requirements.

Foam molding works well on PP, PE, PS, and several engineering resins where wall thickness allows a stable cellular structure to form. It suits containers, structural parts, and thick-wall components. Very thin-walled parts and high-precision cosmetic surfaces are less suitable. We assess feasibility from a 3D file at the quotation stage.

Yes, under our ISCC PLUS mass-balance certification. Recycled content availability depends on the resin grade and the target regulatory market. Food-contact and medical applications carry additional constraints under FDA 21 CFR Part 177 and EU 10/2011 that may limit recycled content usage.

Servo hydraulic machines are replaced with all-electric units as they reach end of service life or when new capacity is added. Current mix by facility is available on request for confirmed projects.

Yes, for selected programs. The Eco Elephant plastic fire extinguisher holds a verified carbon footprint certification issued in 2017. Product-level carbon accounting for other programs can be arranged on request and is supported by upstream material declarations from certified resin suppliers.

Both facilities operate under ISO 14001 environmental management principles and share the same equipment upgrade path for electric machines and insulated dryers. Local environmental permits and reporting requirements differ between jurisdictions.

Both facilities operate under the same quality management framework built on ISO 9001. Specific certification scope by facility is confirmed at project quotation, since some standards apply to particular production lines rather than the whole site.

Yes. Current certificate copies, issuing bodies, and validity dates are provided as part of the supplier qualification package once a project is under NDA. Certificates are re-issued to customers when renewed following each audit cycle.

Yes. IATF 16949 programs include PPAP submissions, control plans, process capability studies, and first article documentation as standard. Reporting formats and submission levels are agreed at project initiation.

ISO 22000 and HACCP govern the food safety management system applied to production of food-contact containers and in-flight food service items. Material-level food-contact compliance under FDA 21 CFR Part 177 or EU 10/2011 is confirmed separately at the resin selection stage.

ISCC PLUS certifies that recycled or bio-based content is tracked through a mass-balance accounting system from the resin supplier through to the finished part. Customers receive documented chain-of-custody records for the certified portion of content used in their program.

Every stage of your program runs at our own facilities. From mold design and CAE analysis through tooling, injection molding, secondary operations, assembly, and packaging, you deal with one project team, one quality system, and one production schedule.

There is no coordination burden between separate tooling, molding, and finishing vendors, and no need to negotiate quality standards across multiple suppliers.

Mold tooling, injection molding, mold assembly and validation, and secondary operations including spray painting are handled in-house. Where a specialist process is not run internally, we work with a vetted local partner under our quality oversight rather than routing your project through an unmanaged third party. If your project has specific in-house-only requirements, raise them during quotation and we will confirm scope in writing before tooling begins.

Because engineering, tooling, molding, and finishing all sit within one certified facility, design changes and cavity modifications are scheduled internally rather than routed through external partners. This shortens iteration cycles during trial, reduces overall program lead times, and gives your team a single accountable contact for schedule and quality issues throughout the project.

Yes. OEM projects are manufactured to your existing drawings and specifications, with our engineering team supporting manufacturability review and process development. For ODM projects, our R&D team can engage from concept and prototype through to production-ready tooling and parts. Both project types are supported end to end at a single facility with the same integrated workflow.

Your 2D and 3D files, tooling drawings, and finished mold assets remain within our facility from DFM review through mass production. There is no external tooling vendor holding your mold, no separate finishing house handling branded parts, and no cross-vendor sharing of your product data. NDAs are signed at project initiation, and mold assets are held under your ownership terms throughout the program.

Every order runs through three defined stages: IQC on incoming raw materials and purchased components, IPQC during the molding run, and FQC on finished parts before shipment. Each stage has defined inspection items, calibrated equipment, and documented pass criteria.

Selected product lines also run automated CCD visual inspection at the press to catch surface and dimensional defects before parts leave the molding cell.

Our in-house lab covers mechanical, thermal, dimensional, and material testing. Mechanical and dimensional equipment includes a universal materials tester, tensile tester, Izod impact tester, drop tester, vibration compactor, hydraulic burst tester, and 2.5D image measurement machines. Material and surface testing includes a melt flow index tester, density scale, hardness tester, colorimeter and gloss meter, abrasion tester, high and low temperature chambers, and an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer for material composition analysis. Dimensional verification for tooled parts uses CMM and ATOS 3D scanning.

The QA team operates as a dedicated department with roles across incoming, in-process, and final inspection. The structure includes a department manager, a group supervisor, a QA engineer, IQC inspectors, and PQC and FQC inspectors, so each inspection stage has assigned ownership rather than shared coverage. For larger programs or specific customer quality requirements, additional resource is scheduled at the project level.

Appearance inspection covers fourteen defined defect categories including bubbles, shrinkage, flow marks, scratches, silver streaks, weld lines, sprue marks, color variation, flash, contamination, ejector marks, air traps, short shot, and over-fill. Dimensional inspection is run to the customer drawing tolerance using CMM, ATOS 3D scanning, and 2.5D image measurement. Customer-specific critical characteristics and cosmetic zones are agreed at the part approval stage and integrated into the FQC checklist.

Yes. Programs run under the IATF 16949 framework support customer-specific quality planning, control plan development, first article and measurement capability studies, and part submission documentation on request. For non-automotive programs run under ISO 9001, we support customer-defined inspection plans and sampling protocols agreed at project initiation. Raise your specific quality planning and documentation requirements in the RFQ and we will confirm scope before production begins.

Our gateways connect directly to the injection machines and their PLC controllers, reading barrel temperature, injection pressure, holding time, clamping force, and screw position continuously throughout the run. Values are compared against the process window validated for your part during mold trials.

Because monitoring is continuous rather than sampled, short deviations that a periodic check would miss are still captured and recorded.

Yes. Standard SPC rules run against live data and detect shifts, trends, and non-random patterns that stay within specification limits but indicate a process losing control. A run producing good parts on a steadily rising temperature trend is flagged before it produces a bad one.

For tight-tolerance and cosmetic components, this is the difference between a parameter adjustment and a sorted lot.

Rather than treating capability as a periodic study, we calculate CPK continuously from live data across the run. When it falls below target or trends downward, the system flags the cell and retrieves the parameter settings from the last three runs of the same mold in the same material.

This gives the technician a validated reference point for adjustment, and means capability problems are addressed while still trends rather than after non-conforming parts exist.

Customers on IATF 16949 automotive programs receive first article documentation, process capability studies, and part submission records as standard.

Non-automotive customers can request capability reports, deviation and corrective action records, inspection reports, and production traceability on a program-by-program basis. Format and frequency are agreed at project initiation and built into the production schedule.

Changes are logged in PLM, reviewed against tooling and process implications, and released through a controlled workflow before production is updated. Revised drawings are issued under a new revision number, and downstream production, inspection, and shipping records reflect the change.

Where a change affects the process window, monitoring parameters are updated as part of the release, so alerting is checked against the current specification rather than the superseded one.

Common injection molding resins such as PP can be foamed, but foaming behavior depends on the material formulation, part geometry, and mold design together. Send us your part drawing and resin specification and we will assess feasibility before you commit to tooling.

Savings vary by geometry and wall thickness. On a 700ml drink cup we achieved a 37.09% reduction against the equivalent solid design, and thin-walled parts with uniform walls generally foam most efficiently. A feasibility review of your drawing gives you a realistic figure before tooling starts.

Rigidity is typically maintained or improved because the foamed wall can be made thicker than the solid design at a lower total weight. The solid outer skin carries surface loads while the microcellular core adds stiffness per gram.

Physical foaming adds no chemical blowing agents, so the material stays a single recyclable resin. Parts can carry a customized QR code for identification, which supports reuse programs and low-cost recycling at end of life.
