From tool design to production run- one team, from start to finished part

empire’s molding advantage

Why Molders lose time when tooling and production are split

Most OEMs building a new part end up managing two vendors: a tool shop that builds the mold, then a separate molder who has to live with whatever design decisions were made without them in the room. When something needs adjusting mid-production, you’re stuck coordinating between two companies who’ve never talked to each other, and the schedule (and the blame) gets stuck in the middle.

Examples of Parts We’ve Molded

From As Seen on Shark Tank products to military/defense components, we’ve helped OEMs take parts from prototype to full-run production.

Capabilities & Materials

Molding Specs & Materials We Support

We provide Mold Sampling and short run production for our tooling customers. If you are in need of higher volumes, contact us below today.

Volumes

We are proud to be able to compete on the global market for low-volume 250-10,000 part-per-year programs and 1 million parts per month for higher-volume programs.

Materials

Our material expertise spans the full spectrum- from everyday consumer thermoplastics to the high-performance engineering resins required for defense and military-grade applications.

Materials we regularly work with include: ABS, polypropylene, nylon (including glass-filled grades), polycarbonate, acetal (Delrin), PEEK, and other high-performance engineering resins.

Tolerances

We hold tolerances as tight as ±0.001–0.003 inches depending on material and geometry
