MICE - Molds

What MICE - Molds does

MICE - Molds, formally MICE - Engenharia de Moldação por Injecção Reactiva RIM, is a Portuguese B2B contract manufacturer founded in 2013 and headquartered in Santa Maria da Feira (Porto region). The company specializes in Reaction Injection Molding (RIM), a process that produces plastic parts in rigid polyurethane and pDCPD (polydicyclopentadiene) materials optimized for small series production runs of 50 to 10,000 units — a volume band that is economically unattractive for conventional injection molding due to tooling amortization. The firm positions itself as a co-engineering partner, delivering product development, prototyping, mold making, part manufacturing, finishing, painting, and assembly as an integrated single-source service.

MICE serves three primary vertical segments: Mobility (railroad, ambulance, and bus components and interiors), Equipment (medical device housings and electronic/electrical enclosures), and Furniture (structural and designer pieces). The company claims 470+ active clients, 3,000+ successful projects, and a worldwide client footprint exceeding 100 customers. Its go-to-market is sales-led, with B2B engagements initiated through direct outreach and a website contact form for budget requests. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are custom-quoted.

The company operates a single manufacturing facility in the Zona Industrial de Romariz, Pigeiros, and is privately held with no public listing. It received one disclosed funding round from Portugal Ventures in October 2015 (amount undisclosed). No public revenue figure, ownership structure detail, certifications, patents, named customers, or management team information was disclosed in the available source material. Revenue is generated through professional services for custom manufacturing, with revenue model mechanics tied to project-by-project quoting rather than standardized pricing.

Direct peers

• Frimo Group: European provider of polyurethane processing technology, tooling, and contract manufacturing services for plastics and composites. Comparable as a Europe-based custom PU/composite parts manufacturer serving mobility and industrial OEMs, overlapping with MICE's RIM polyurethane focus.
• Barlog Plastics: German custom plastics engineering services firm specializing in high-performance polymers and small/medium series production. Comparable because it combines material expertise with engineering and contract manufacturing for industrial OEMs, much like MICE's co-engineering model.
• Simoldes Group: Largest Iberian moldmaker and plastics producer (Portugal-headquartered), serving automotive and industrial OEMs with custom injection molded parts. Highly comparable as a Portuguese custom moldmaker operating in mobility/industrial verticals, though at much larger scale than MICE.
• Rosti Group: Swedish-headquartered global custom plastics injection molding contract manufacturer serving consumer, industrial, and mobility customers. Directly comparable business model: integrated engineering, tooling, and production services for small-to-medium series, similar co-engineering value proposition.
• Plastal Industrie: European automotive plastics supplier focused on exterior and structural components using various molding processes. Comparable target customers (mobility OEMs) and similar custom-parts contract manufacturing model, though typically at much higher volumes than MICE's small-series niche.

Others

• KraussMaffei: Global manufacturer of machinery for plastics and rubber processing, including reaction injection molding (RIM) and polyurethane systems. Comparable as an enabler/supplier of the underlying RIM technology MICE uses, not a direct custom-parts competitor.
• Hennecke GmbH: German manufacturer of polyurethane processing machinery, including RIM equipment used in MICE's core process. Adjacent as an equipment/technology supplier enabling RIM production rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Faurecia: Global Tier-1 automotive supplier (now FORVIA) producing interior systems, seating, and clean mobility solutions including plastic and composite parts. Overlaps with MICE in mobility/equipment plastic components but operates at vastly larger scale and across broader technology portfolio.
