Core offering

Novoplast AG manufactures custom plastic components and profiles using injection molding and extrusion technologies. The company processes over 100 different thermoplastics (including high-performance materials like PPSU, PVDF, PEEK) on 8 extrusion lines and 30 active injection molds with clamping forces from 10 to 650 tons. It serves industrial customers from initial idea through simulation to series production or finished assembly, with operations split between a Swiss headquarters (Wallbach, extrusion competence center) and a Hungarian production facility (Iharosbereny, injection molding competence center since 1996).

Product overview

Novoplast AG is a Swiss plastic processing company offering two core manufacturing technologies: extrusion (plastic profiles) and injection molding (plastic parts/housings). Their product portfolio centers on Kunststoffprofile (extruded profiles) and Kunststoffteile/Kunststoffgehäuse (injection molded parts and housings), supported by advanced multi-component capabilities in both technologies. They specialize in high-performance plastics (PPSU, PVDF, PEEK) and serve medical technology, sanitary technology, building technology, and industrial sectors. The company operates production facilities in Switzerland (Wallbach - extrusion competency center) and Hungary (Iharosberény - injection molding competency center since 1996). Supporting services include in-house tool maintenance, InnoLab for innovation development, and assembly operations.

Products and services

• Extrusion Profiles (Kunststoffprofile) Custom extruded plastic profiles including technical profiles, co-extrusion profiles, and damping profiles. Produced on 8 extrusion lines with multi-component (co-extrusion) capability combining plastics with different properties such as varying hardness, colors, or material compositions. Used by industrial customers in construction, HVAC, and sealing applications.
• Injection Molded Parts (Kunststoffteile) Precision injection molded plastic parts and housings for medical technology, sanitary technology, industry, and building technology. Includes multi-component (2K) injection molding with clamping forces from 10 to 650 tons. 30 active injection molds support production from 50,000 to 2.5 million pieces per year.
• Leak Sealing and Guide Profiles (Dichtungs- und Führungsprofile) Specialized sealing and guide profiles made from polyolefins for roller shutters and sun protection systems, including foam-core profiles with glass fiber-reinforced outer shell. Used in building technology and construction applications.
• System Components for Drinking Water (Systemkomponenten für Trinkwasser) Pressure-stressed system components for cold and hot water installations, valve parts for hot water applications, and 2K fittings for self-closing water valves. Manufactured for sanitary technology companies.
• Injection Molding Tool Maintenance Service In-house repair and regular maintenance of injection molds by skilled personnel with capacity and know-how for efficient in-house tooling. Includes acceptance and integration of existing customer molds.
• Assembly Services (Montage) Assembly of modules and subassemblies, post-processing of injection molded parts, cleaning, and specialized packaging. Performed at the Hungary production facility.
• Novoplast InnoLab Extrusion Development Service Innovation laboratory service for developing and testing new extrusion solutions, simulating feasibility, and developing tools for high-quality plastic profiles. Opened in August 2024 to enable faster delivery times and streamlined customer collaboration.

• SANOXX AGcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2022Development partnership for injection systems to seal construction joints in concrete structures. Novoplast's extrusion team handled the precise construction and calibration of the extrusion die — the core component of the project. The collaboration resulted in a customized solution for building waterproofing requirements, emphasizing quality and sustainability.
• PATCHBOX GmbHcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 October 2020Partnership started October 2020 for assembly and manufacturing of the PATCHBOX cable management system. Initial 5 employees producing 150 units/day scaled to 13 employees producing 1,200 units/day within 1.5 years. Novoplast Hungary produces over 40 different PATCHBOX models, shipping to customers in Europe and USA. Novoplast also produces plastic components (patchbox.one) in-house using precision injection molding, representing a deepening of the partnership.
• FAFCO SAScoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2003Over 20-year partnership supplying extruded polypropylene (PP) profiles for FAFCO's cold storage systems. Novoplast develops extrusion dies, optimizes processes, and is currently developing new calibration and punch systems to increase production capacity. The collaboration focuses on technical precision, material know-how, and uncompromising quality for energy-efficient cooling technology.
• Sauter AGminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerLong-term injection molding partnership. Novoplast adapts products to the latest requirements over the years. Customer testimonials confirm efficient cooperation with positive customer reactions, professional and transparent project handling even under tight deadlines.
• RochecoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSolution partnership for medical technology systems. Novoplast manufactures products for in-vitro diagnostics for the global market leader Roche.
