Small to Large Parts
At Guttenberg Industries, we excel in molding parts of all sizes, from those smaller than a dime to large components nearly 4 feet in height or width. Our expertise in producing high-quality small parts ensures dimensional precision and consistency, which are crucial for parts that fit together seamlessly.
For large parts, our U.S. domestic molding capabilities are ideal, minimizing shipping and storage costs. Since 2013, we’ve enhanced our production capacity with four new presses, enabling us to manufacture competitively priced, large-sized products using both commodity and engineering-grade materials. With a clamping force of up to 1000 tons and 15 molding machines with a tonnage of over 390, we specialize in handling larger parts with the same meticulous precision as smaller ones, maintaining our commitment to quality and volume. We have the capacity to take on your projects!
Materials - Choose From a Wide Variety!
Selecting the appropriate material for molding a part is crucial, as it directly impacts the part’s characteristics. Factors such as cosmetics, strength, size, cost, texture, and hardness must be carefully considered. Guttenberg Industries produces thousands of parts annually using a diverse range of materials, ensuring we meet various requirements.
Our expertise lies in guiding you to select the ideal resin for your project. We specialize in molding a wide array of resins, including Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (HDPE & LDPE), Polycarbonate (PC), ABS, TPE, Acetal, Acrylic, Polystyrene (PS), Nylon, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and more.
