What Rational Solutions does
Rational Solutions Ltd. is a privately held Israeli contract manufacturer founded in 1981, headquartered in Rishon Le-Zion with a second, larger manufacturing facility in Kiryat Gat and a combined workforce of approximately 125 employees. The company manufactures polyurethane and plastic parts, high-precision machined components, sub-assemblies, and full-turnkey systems for enterprise customers in medical devices, homeland security (HLS), industrial, and civil aviation.
The technical core centers on Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) of polyurethane, producing parts from 3 mm thickness up to 45 kg in a single injection, with specific gravities ranging from 0.2 to 1.6 and self-extinguishing properties to UL94V0 standards. The RIM line is integrated with 44 CNC machining centers including 5-axis machines with work tables up to 6 meters, high-pressure plastic injection molding, and FDM-based 3D printing. Aluminum and metal-surface epoxy molds with integrated heating and cooling support rapid prototyping and serial production. Material qualifications include compact polyurethane (1100 kg/m³), foamed polyurethane (700 kg/m³), ABS, and PC-ABS compliant with UL94-V0 medical-system flammability standards.
Commercially, Rational operates a B2B contract-manufacturing model with quote-based pricing tied to bill of materials and required technology, multi-year customer contracts, and direct enterprise field sales (phone, email, in-house sales team) targeting OEMs and tier-one integrators. Named customers include Philips, Medtronic, GE Healthcare, Israel Aerospace Industries, Elbit Systems, Rafael, HP, Biosense Webster, Mazor Robotics, Stratasys, Lumenis, Syneron Candela, Gilat, Bio-Rad, Orbotech, Venus Concept, and Insughtec. Revenue is generated from hardware sales — parts and assemblies — with no software, subscription, or licensing component in the disclosed model.
