Concor Tool and Machine

What Concor Tool and Machine does

Concor Tool and Machine Inc. is a privately held, family-owned US manufacturer founded in 1980 and headquartered in Hayward, Wisconsin. The company designs, manufactures, and rebuilds plasticating-unit components — feed screws, barrels, screw tips (non-return valves), end caps, nozzles, and tie bars — for injection molding and extrusion machines. Engineering is performed in Solidworks 3D CAD and backed by a deep print library, while manufacturing relies on a combination of modern CNC machining centers (including VF5 and VF10 units), traditional lathes, mills, grinders, hones, saws, polishers, in-house heat treatment, and a Kennemetal Plasma Transfer Arc welding center; a 2022 building expansion added capacity for seven additional CNC machines. The product portfolio is anchored by the patented SolidStar profile-geometry screw for abrasive-filled resins, the proprietary Veloci-T three-piece free-flow screw tip in CPM M4 HIPPED tool steel, the Duracon screw family, and bimetallic / tool-steel-lined barrels that exceed SPI straightness standards.

Concor pioneered the rebuilding of CPM 9V through-hardened tool-steel screws in 1992 (a capability it describes as unheard of in the plastics industry) and added twin-screw rebuilding in 2018. The company makes money primarily through quote-based, per-project sales of custom-manufactured components and through recurring rebuild/relining services for screws, barrels, tips, end caps, gearboxes, feed throats, and related parts; secondary streams include distribution of ChemTrend Lusin Clean purging compounds, the Maxi-Blast high-pressure plastic-media screw-cleaning system, upsizing/downsizing and thermoplastic-to-thermoset conversion engineering, paid technical training seminars, and part-history-tracked inspection services. Customers span medical, automotive, electronics, aviation, agriculture/irrigation, construction, industrial, consumer goods, food/beverage, and animal/pet food plastics processors, alongside multinational injection-molding and extrusion OEMs compatible with 100+ machine brands. Concor reaches this base via a manufacturer's-representative network spanning the US, Canada, and Mexico and via direct multilingual export sales (English, Spanish, French) into the UK, Europe, Australia, Asia, Central/South America, the Middle East, and Africa from its single Hayward facility.

Revenue model

1. Manufactured components (screws, barrels, tips, end caps, nozzles, tie bars): One-time custom-manufactured sales of new feed screws, bimetallic and tool-steel-lined barrels, Veloci-T tips, locking/4-piece/ball-check tips, inserted-design end caps, nozzles and nozzle adapters, and tie bars for injection molding and extrusion machines. Includes OEM-compatible parts for a long list of machine manufacturers.
2. Rebuilding and remanufacturing services: Professional services revenue from rebuilding screws (including twin screws and CPM 9V through-hardened screws), relining barrels (including Krauss Maffei cast portions), and rebuilding tips, end caps, gearboxes, feed throats, tie bars, pistons/cylinders, drive quills, bushings, augers and plungers. Carbide coating and surface treatments also performed.
3. Distribution of ChemTrend (Lusin) purging compounds: Resale of ChemTrend Lusin Clean purging compounds for injection, extrusion, blow molding and blown film applications — recurring consumable revenue tied to processor cleaning cycles.
4. Maxi-Blast screw cleaning systems and cleaning services: Sale of Maxi-Blast high-pressure plastic-media blast screw cleaning systems, supplemented by free in-house screw cleaning demonstrations and service (video-taped process, customer attended demos).
5. Upsizing, downsizing and thermoset conversion engineering services: Engineering and manufacturing services to upsize or downsize existing plasticating units (new screw, barrel, end cap, tip, drive adapter and retainer) and to convert thermoplastic presses to thermoset (water-jacketed barrel, new thermoset screw and end cap). Project-based revenue.
6. Technical training seminars: Regularly scheduled free on-site training seminars at Concor's Hayward facility; small fee when presented at customer locations. Demand-generation and customer education rather than a primary revenue stream.
