The firm provides end-to-end plastic injection moulding services, spanning 3D product design, toolmaking (including prototype tooling capable of producing up to 30,000 parts), injection moulding on machines from 50 to 530 tonnes, and post-moulding assembly and packaging. Technical capabilities include twin-shot and over-moulding, insert moulding, ultrasonic and laser welding, heat staking, and tampo printing, all delivered under a single roof.

The company operates a dedicated medical device manufacturing line certified to ISO 13485:2016 with a Class 7 cleanroom for sterile parts, and serves customers in the medical, automotive, tools, and general manufacturing sectors.
