What Empire Precision Plastics does

Empire Precision Plastics is a Rochester, New York-based contract manufacturer established in 1992 that specializes in precision plastic injection molding for regulated end markets. The company serves four named verticals — medical and healthcare (surgical, diagnostic, and implantable device components), firearms/military/defense, industrial and consumer electronics, and polymer optics (lenses, light guides, LED optics) — and operates a fully in-house stack that spans tooling design and build, rapid prototyping, production molding, in-line laser marking, and assembly/post-molding operations. Its core technical differentiator is a documented Scientific Injection Molding methodology enforced through a proprietary Process Development Workbook (PDW) for process validation, supplemented by Single Point Diamond Turning (SPDT) for low-volume polymer optics prototyping.

The company generates revenue through project-quoted contract manufacturing fees: part production, tooling development and ongoing maintenance, and secondary assembly operations, all priced via bespoke quotes tied to part specifications, volume, material, and complexity. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct engagement with OEM engineering and procurement teams for project scoping and program management — supported by an SEO-optimized website and a content-driven Knowledge Center of gated white papers that functions as lead generation. Distribution is single-channel direct B2B with no self-serve, e-commerce, or marketplace exposure; the entire footprint is served from a single Rochester, NY facility (500 Lee Rd #400).

The business is differentiated and gated by regulatory credentials that include ISO 9001:2015 (general quality management), ISO 13485:2016 (medical device manufacturing, both certifications valid through December 8, 2028), ITAR registration with the U.S. Department of State for defense articles, and a Federal Firearms License (#6-16-055-07-6F-03014) for the firearms market. Operations run with 101-250 employees under a privately held LLC structure headquartered in New York.
