Precision Injection Molding Capabilities

ATEK Plastics focuses on manufacturing through methods like lean principles, decoupled molding, documented process control and automation. ATEK’s highly automated production floor and automated work cells are equipped with individual eDart system monitors and full servo robotics supported by product specific vision systems and box loaders.

ATEK has expertise in custom molding projects including over molding, in mold labeling, insert molding and is multi shot capable. Their facility currently has four 100,000 class clean rooms and is equipped with an in-house quality lab and a full service tool room equipped for EC’s, repairs and PM’s.

With the adaptation of scientific molding and automation the company is able to run lean and efficient with stable processes and less man power.
