Plastic Injection Molding
RPM has over 50 years of custom injection molding experience. RPM Industries employs the latest technology in custom injection molding equipment and offers its customers an extensive knowledge of material science in thermoplastic resins. With in-house and offshore mold making capabilities we offer our customers the option of expedited in-house mold making to meet time sensitive projects and when cost are critical we offer lower mold cost options through our offshore business partners. In order to maintain the highest quality of craftsmanship all molds whether made in-house or offshore are designed by RPM’s engineers. When customers choose to have RPM outsource tooling offshore, our offshore business partners are required to build molds to RPM’s designs and stringent USA specifications. Final molded sample parts are provided and approved by our customers prior to commencing production runs stateside. The extra steps we take assure we are providing our customers with the highest quality molds, parts, and service. Our top priority is to meet the needs of our customers with the highest standards of value, quality, service, and integrity.
