Services
SMC Moulding
Our SMC moulding process utilises glass fibre reinforced thermoset materials to produce high-strength, lightweight components with Class A surface finishes. This technology enables complex geometries and integrated features for automotive and industrial applications. With presses ranging from 600T to 3000T, we deliver precision-engineered solutions that optimise cost-efficiency and performance.
DCPD Moulding
DCPD moulding leverages low-pressure RIM technology to create durable, lightweight components with excellent dimensional stability. Ideal for large, thin-walled parts, this process reduces tooling costs and energy consumption. Our expertise ensures rapid cycle times and seamless integration of mechanical fixings for automotive and industrial sectors.
Painting Services
Our robotic paint line achieves automotive-grade Class A finishes through automated pre-wash, precision painting, and controlled curing. Capable of handling diverse materials, this system ensures consistent quality and environmental compliance. Batch processing supports flexible production volumes for global clients.
Design Services
We transform design concepts into value-engineered products using SMC and DCPD expertise. Our team optimises manufacturability, structural integrity, and cost-efficiency while ensuring compatibility with hybrid assemblies. Tooling design incorporates decades of experience to guarantee production reliability and innovation.
Project Management
Dedicated project teams employ APQP and PPAP methodologies to ensure on-time delivery of defect-free components. With 90-day post-launch support and supplier network coordination, we maintain rigorous quality control through IATF 16949-certified processes and in-house measurement facilities.
