Plastic injection molding is a process in which large numbers of high-quality product parts are produced with great speed and accuracy.
Thermoplastic granules are melted until they are soft enough to be injected into a mold of hardened steel under high pressure.
After having cooled down in the mold, the plastic parts are ejected. After that, the process will be repeated.

After receiving a Purchase Order, we start with a kick-off meeting organized by the dedicated Project engineer. During the kick-off meeting, the project engineer shares valuable project information with the defined project team, including plant members.
On finalizing a project, a final closure meeting will be organized before starting production. All project data are constantly managed in a tracking and tracing system.
At ASPEL, we constantly strive to improve our quality processes. To keep a close eye on our own quality requirements and on the quality requirements of our customers, we have the following equipment available at each of our plants:
Our head offices also dispose of a GOM optical 3D scanner, mainly used during Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP).
ASPEL uses thermoplastic polymers, mainly general and engineering polymers. These materials are sometimes combined with thermoplastic elastomers for 2K molding.
