What Frilame does

Frilame (operating as SC Frilame SRL in Romania) is a custom plastic injection molding manufacturer founded in France in 1997 and established in Timișoara, Romania in 2006. The company designs and produces precision thermoplastic injection molded parts — wiper rods with overmolded ball joints for automotive, electronic casings, finishing pieces for building/carpentry, and medical/paramedical components such as cane handles and tips — operating a 5-stage process from mold design through part ejection. Production is anchored at a single Romanian facility (relocated to larger premises in May 2022) with in-house and partner-led quality testing covering endurance cycles, tensile strength, friction coefficient, and wear resistance, alongside ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications.

Frilame's core capabilities are organized into five service pillars: plastic injection and innovation, R&D and innovation (partnered with Caliplast on bioplastics/biocomposites), study and design (engineering office), tools and molds (via the Wenoplast partnership in France), and control and testing. Since 2019, the company has operated as part of the Plasturgia group alongside sister companies Caliplast (quality/R&D) and Wenoplast (mold tooling), which together provide the broader French and European mold-making and quality infrastructure that a 15-employee shop could not replicate alone.

Frilame generates revenue through one-time B2B project commissions for custom plastic injection services, targeting enterprise customers across automotive (primary), building, electronics, and paramedical/medical segments. Go-to-market is sales-led via direct phone/email outreach and an online project submission form, supported by a multilingual website and content marketing (white papers) for lead generation. Pricing is project-based with custom quotes rather than published rates, and production volumes span small, medium, and large series. The customer mix features a long-running anchor relationship with Mitsuba (in both French and European automotive variants) since 2007, supplemented by project-based engagements in other verticals.
