Products and services

• Custom Molds High-production, high-cavitation injection molds engineered for fastest possible cycle time, longest durability, and ease of maintenance. Configurations include multi-shot, stack, unscrewing, and tandem molds for industrial plastic part producers.
• Stack Molds Stack molds that nearly double the output of a molding machine compared to a single face mold, integrating proprietary CTI Hot Runner Systems for single-source design.
• Multi-Shot Molds Multi-shot injection molds allowing parts to be made from multiple shots of same or different materials or colors, featuring patented LIT (Low Inertia Turning), MAPP, mold rotation, and robotic part transfer configurations.
• Unscrewing Molds Mechanically unscrewing molds required for threaded parts that cannot be stripped due to thread depth or geometry, using hydraulically driven racks, servo motor drives, planetary gear drives, and hydraulic rotating motor drives.
• Tandem Molds Tandem molds that alternate parting line opening using a proprietary clamping system, allowing smaller injection units to achieve output equivalent to stack molds, with each parting line having its own injection profile.
• CTI Mold Bases CTI-branded mold bases engineered for maximum cavity support, manufactured from solid blocks of pre-hardened stainless steel, ground flat and parallel to .0002 inch for high clamp tonnages and injection pressures. Sold separately with or without hot runner systems.
• CTI Hot Runner Bolt-On Systems Hot runner injection systems from 2-drop to complex stack or multi-material configurations with patented gating features including Valve Gate, Multi-Valve Gate, Hot Tip, Sprue Gate, Edge Gate, Multi-Tip, and Angle Tip. Marketed by the CACO Technologies Inc. (CTI) division.
• CTI Mold Rotating Plates (MRP) Electric servo-motor driven mold rotating plates (MRP) for fast shot-to-shot sequencing in injection molds, accommodating air circuits, water circuits, and hydraulic knockouts for molding machines up to 500-ton clamp tonnage.
• Mold Testing In-house mold testing on machines ranging from 100 to 730 tons, with customer witnessing, resin testing, gate type evaluation, and new technology development support.

• StackTeck Systems: StackTeck specializes in stack molds and high-cavitation tooling for thin-wall packaging and closures — directly comparable to CACO's stack mold product line and packaging customer segment.
• D-M-E (Barnes Group): D-M-E manufactures mold bases, hot runner systems and mold components sold as aftermarket and OEM modules — directly comparable to CACO's CTI mold base and hot runner product lines.
• Progressive Components: Progressive Components designs and produces mold components and date/lifecycle technologies sold into injection mold builders and OEM molders — overlapping CTI's mold accessories go-to-market motion.
• Mold-Masters (Hillenbrand Plastics Processing): Mold-Masters designs and manufactures hot runner systems and injection molds, including multi-shot and stack mold configurations, directly overlapping CACO's CTI bolt-on hot runner and custom mold offerings.
• Incoe Corporation: Incoe designs and manufactures hot runner systems and injection mold components used in high-production multi-shot and stack molding, overlapping CACO's CTI hot runner and custom mold product families.
• Synventive Molding Solutions (Bucher Emhart Plastics): Synventive is a direct competitor in custom injection molds and hot runner technology for complex multi-material parts — closely matching CACO's multi-shot and high-cavitation core capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Husky Injection Molding Systems: Husky is a global incumbent in injection molds, hot runners and complete molding systems for packaging and medical — serving the same high-cavitation closure and medical molding use cases CACO targets, but at a larger scale across geographies.

Regional players

• Yudo (Korea / Hotsys) Hot Runner Systems: Yudo is a leading Asian hot runner system manufacturer serving packaging, medical and consumer molders globally; competing with CACO/CTI in multi-shot and high-cavitation applications across Asia-led supply chains.

Emerging players

• Graham Engineering (blow and injection tooling): Graham Engineering designs custom extrusion and blow/injection tooling systems for industrial plastic packaging — adjacent to CACO's high-production tooling for caps, closures and packaging end uses.
