Roembke Mfg & Design

What Roembke Mfg & Design does

Roembke Mfg. & Design, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned specialty tooling manufacturer founded in 1977 by John and Betty Roembke in Ossian, Indiana, and currently led by Greg Roembke. The company designs and manufactures custom molds for Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), High Consistency Rubber (HCR), and thermoplastic injection molding applications, with capabilities extending to parts as small as 0.007 grams. Its core product portfolio includes LSR molds, HCR molds, plastic injection molds, two-component molding cells, and proprietary Quick Prototype Systems (QPS) and Cold Deck Systems built in-house. Differentiating technologies include flashless molding technology available across all tooling options (Compression, Transfer, Injection Transfer, Straight Injection, Cold Runner), laser vents, picometer-level measurement capability, and an internal applications center for Factory Acceptance Trials (FAT) prior to mold shipment.

The business operates from a 62,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility that has been expanded multiple times (1982, 1991, 2001). Revenue is generated through one-time custom mold fabrication, hardware sales of Cold Deck Systems and nozzles, and professional services for Turnkey Solutions (full molding cell organization, training, automation, pre-production molding, and technology development). The go-to-market is direct sales via phone and [email protected], supplemented by trade show participation (notably NPE) and an Asia-Pacific channel partnership with Everfinest Engineering Co., Ltd. operating from Hong Kong.

Products and services

• Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Molding Solutions High-quality custom molds for liquid silicone rubber injection molding, capable of producing consistent parts as small as 0.007 grams, with internal Factory Acceptance Trials (FAT) prior to mold shipment. For industrial manufacturers running LSR injection operations.
• High Consistency Rubber (HCR) Molding Solutions State-of-the-art custom molds for HCR applications, supporting compression, transfer (with/without Waste Reduction Technology), injection transfer, straight injection, and injection with cold runner technology, all available with Roembke's flashless molding capability and tested in the in-house applications center.
• Plastic (Thermoplastic) Molding Design, build, and debug services for cold or hot runner thermoplastic injection molds, enabling manufacturers to single source their thermoset and thermoplastic tooling needs.
• Two-Component Molding Cells Advanced LSR-to-LSR or LSR-to-Thermoplastic 2-component molding cells, plus tooling for standard over-molding projects with substrates including thermoplastic, metals, glass, and wires.
• Quick Prototype System (QPS) Proprietary rapid prototyping service/system available for LSR and HCR materials, allowing iterative design and material changes without the costs or lead times of a full production mold, producing production-equivalent parts.
• Cold Deck Systems Proprietary stand-alone cold deck systems available in 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 drops, built in-house with standardized nozzle components and options for balance control and in-press maintenance.
• Nozzles Versatile nozzle offerings with multiple tip configurations to allow direct injection into the cavity area on molded parts of various sizes.
• Turnkey Solutions Full molding cell project organization and management, including training programs for liquid injection molding, full automation cells, pre-production molding, and technology development, providing customers with single-point communication.

Others

• Progressive Components: Designer and supplier of mold components such as date stamps, hot runner nozzles, and cam-actuated slides used in injection and LSR molds. Adjacent/complementary to Roembke's Cold Deck Systems and nozzle product lines rather than a direct competitor.
• Glaukos Corporation / Sialo Medical (proxy): Note: weak match — representative of LSR-consuming medical device OEMs that Roembke could serve as a customer, not a peer. Omitted.

Direct peers

• Accumold: Micro-molding specialist producing tiny, precision plastic and LSR parts (often sub-gram). Comparable in precision scale (parts down to fractions of grams), proprietary tooling philosophy, and medical/electronics end markets served.
• Rogan Corporation: Long-standing U.S. manufacturer of LSR and rubber molded components, including proprietary technologies like bonded-on silicone overmolding. Directly comparable in materials expertise (LSR/HCR) and custom-molded parts manufacturing.
• MSI Mold Builders: U.S. mold builder specializing in precision injection molds for demanding applications. Comparable as a custom mold maker serving similar mid-market industrial and medical OEM customers with proprietary design/build expertise.
• SIMTEC Silicone Parts: LSR parts manufacturer serving medical, automotive, and industrial markets with proprietary two-shot silicone capabilities. Comparable in LSR specialization, 2-component molding competency, and customer segment overlap.
• M.R. Mold & Engineering Corp: U.S.-based mold maker specializing in LSR (Liquid Injection Molding) and LIM tools. Directly competes in the same custom silicone mold niche with comparable proprietary tooling features and similar customer profile of medical/industrial OEMs.
• Plastic Components, Inc. U.S. custom molder of plastic and rubber components with both molding and tooling capabilities. Comparable as a U.S.-based custom injection molding job shop with similar customer mix and proprietary tool design practices.

Broad incumbents

• Tessy Plastics: U.S.-based contract plastics manufacturer offering injection molding, tooling, and assembly at significantly larger scale. Overlaps in tooling expertise and LSR/thermoplastic molding but serves a much broader product portfolio and customer base.
• Phillips Medisize: Global medical device and drug-delivery solutions provider with strong LSR and plastics molding capabilities. Comparable in LSR/thermoplastic medical market overlap but operates at much larger scale with broader design-to-commercial services.
