Although injection molding and mold manufacturing is a craft that has been around since the beginning of the twentieth century, the development of final products has continued to evolve. The transition from metal to plastic (from solid and heavy to strong and light) cannot be stopped. Egmond Plastic was one of the first companies worldwide to specialize in the manufacture of high-tech plastics solutions with complex designs. We are in fact still the only company worldwide that can injection mold hollow components.
Egmond Plastic is a leading supplier in the field of injection molding and mold manufacturing for the medical, aerospace, and defense industries, and many more. We develop our own molds or outsource the manufacture of molds (under guidance) to one of our partners in countries such as China. On a daily basis, we work with complex materials such as Peek (Victrex) and Pei (Ultem), with or without glass and/or carbon fibers.
Critical Applications
Egmond Plastic works, among others, for the international aerospace industry. For example, we developed a synthetic fuel pump for the Eurofighter, which is still used up until this day. There is almost no airplane manufacturer that is not a direct or indirect client of Egmond Plastic. The processes prior to our ‘proven technology’ are woven into our daily practices. We are able to provide the same quality and reliability requirements of the aerospace industry to all our other customers as well: defense, medical, other industries, and small businesses with great ideas.
- Egmond Plastic is highly qualified with an AS-9100 (aerospace supplier) certification.
- With components such as housings for fuel pumps and valve bodies, jet and hydraulic pumps, canisters and parts for septic tanks in the Eurofighter Typhoon, Eurocopter NH-90, Eurocopter Tigre and Airbus aircraft, critical applications in plastic are here to stay.
