Insert Molding

We have the knowledge and capability to mold Items such as ferrous and non-ferrous inserts, clips and terminals, directly into the plastic part. Consolidating a component into an insert-molded product has the possible advantage of avoiding secondary operations to assemble components, and it can provide added strength and more consistent results.
