Insert moulding employs pre-formed parts or “inserts” which are placed in the injection moulding tool before moulding. Thermoplastic material is then moulded around the insert, to create strong, integrated parts. Inserts may be metal, wood, ceramic, or a variety of other materials, and they generally serve various structural and functional goals. Examples of insert moulded parts include threaded fasteners, electrical connectors, and insulators or knobs on control switches, to name a few.

Having produced tens of millions of insert moulded parts, our expertise extends not just to the moulding and finished part, but also to sourcing and procurement of the inserts and other child parts. Insert moulding can simplify complex assemblies into simpler integrated parts, saving downstream operations, cost, and weight, while improving part strength at the same time
