Services

Manufacturing

Using our design, processing, and material knowledge, we will take your concept and follow it through completion.

Molded Plastics

We specialize in thermoset and thermoplastic materials. Processing capability includes injection, transfer, and compression molding. Our niche is in high temperature and electrical applications.

Molded Ceramics

We specialize in glazed, unglazed, refractory, and electrical applications. Processing capabilities include compression, injection, and extrusion.

Engineering

Our objective is to assist with part design at the early stage of the design phase of a program for cost effectiveness of production. We can test and validate new designs relative to part performance. We can provide prototypes (SLA’s) and/or working models.

Quality

Our quality plans are determined by both the customer and the requirements of the parts with AKRON participation as part of the APQP process.
