Custom Injection Molding
Tailored Injection Molding Solutions for Reliable, High-Quality Parts
At Blue Ridge, our custom injection molding process is designed to meet the specific needs of each project—delivering durable, precision plastic parts on tight timelines. Equipped with presses ranging from 100 to 1,000 tons and operating 24/7, we scale production to accommodate low- to high-volume runs. More than 75% of our new fleet of presses are all-electric. Our customer-focused mindset and lean manufacturing practices ensure that every cycle is carefully monitored for consistency, efficiency, and cost effectiveness.
Key Capabilities
Press Tonnage (50–1,000 Tons): Accommodates a broad spectrum of applications—from small precision components to larger, more robust parts.
Continuous Improvement: Investing in facility improvements, new presses, automation, and training ensures we are able to meet evolving customer demands.
24/7 Production: Round-the-clock runs reduce lead times and allow faster scale-ups to meet urgent deadlines.
Lean Manufacturing Focus: Our workflows minimize waste and maximize efficiency, ensuring on-time delivery and consistent quality.
Family-like Culture: A dedicated team treats every customer project with the same care we’d give our own, going the extra mile to enhance cost, quality, or process improvements.
Our Approach
Flexible Production
We begin by tailoring production to your exact needs. Equipped with presses ranging from 100 to 1,000 tons, we can accommodate parts of various sizes and complexities—whether you require a short-run pilot program or a fully scaled production cycle. By offering both low- and high-volume runs, we adapt to meet tight timelines without sacrificing precision or quality.
Advanced Automation
To maintain consistency and efficiency, we deploy automation that oversee part handling and monitor cycle times. This automated support not only reduces manual labor and minimizes errors but also empowers our team to focus on continuous improvements. Real-time data tracking allows us to promptly address any fluctuations, so your parts meet rigorous quality benchmarks every time.
Quality and Reliability
Upholding a 95% acceptance rate is a core tenet of our production philosophy. Through round-the-clock operations and lean workflows, we proactively identify and resolve potential issues before they escalate. This commitment to thorough inspections and on-time delivery ensures you receive reliable, defect-free parts—even under demanding schedules.
End-to-End Support
From the initial stages of mold flow analysis and design optimization—handled by our in-house engineering experts—through to final finishing services like hot stamping and pad printing, we offer a full spectrum of capabilities. When combined with our 3D printing and prototyping and fulfillment services, this cohesive structure eliminates the need for multiple vendors, giving you a streamlined, cost-effective path from concept to completed product.
