Mold-Tech

What Mold-Tech does

Mold-Tech, Inc. is a privately held, S-Corporation precision injection mold manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in Albertville, Minnesota. The company designs, builds, and samples high-precision injection molds for plastic, metal, and silicone components, operating from a 24,000 sq. ft. facility with 6,000 lb crane capacity and 50+ employees working across two shifts. Its core technical stack includes in-house CAD/CAM/CAE integration (Pro-E, SolidWorks, KeyCreator, Mastercam, Cimatron, EDcam, and Moldex 3D for mold-flow analysis), a climate-controlled metrology lab with Hexagon Global CMMs and an OGP SmartScope Flash 500, RJG eDART-equipped in-house mold sampling on Arburg and Toshiba presses (55-275 ton), robotic EDM automation, and Nd:YAG precision laser welding and marking. The company produces the full range of mold types — prototype, development, bridge, multi-cavity production, hot runner, auto unscrewing, insert, in-mold decorating, micro, metal injection (MIM), silicone (LSR), shuttle, multi-shot, and stack — and is ISO 9001 certified and ITAR registered.

Mold-Tech sells exclusively on a B2B direct-sales basis to custom molders and OEMs, with no channel partners, distributors, or resellers. Revenue is generated from one-time custom mold fabrication projects (project-specific, quote-based pricing) supplemented by professional-services revenue from in-house mold sampling/testing and mold repair and refurbishment. Dedicated project managers act as a single point of contact from initial concept through production-ready delivery. Target segments are medical and dental (primary), automotive (primary), and defense (primary, gated by ITAR), with secondary exposure to consumer products, electronics, telecommunications, and surgical devices. The operating geography is exclusively the United States, with no disclosed international footprint.

The company's stated competitive advantages center on a skilled American craft workforce with RJG Master Molder certification, continuous capital investment in high-end CNC, EDM, and metrology equipment, an integrated design-through-sampling workflow that minimizes handoffs, and a project-manager-led customer engagement model. The marketing posture is low-key: a single website, no disclosed social media presence, no active digital marketing, and reliance on industry reputation and certifications for demand generation. Ownership has remained private since founding, with no disclosed parent, subsidiary, external investor, or private equity relationship.
