Custom moulding

Bring us the part you cannot source

We design parts and mould them at the Burnaby plant, on the same ten lines that run the catalogue: containers to Harvest, Process, Store and Transport your products.

  • Presses from 380 to 2250 tons
  • Parts from 60 grams to 8 kilograms
  • 10 production lines
  • Injection moulding only

Shop drawing, canning sleeves

Engineering drawing of canning sleeves in six diameters from 2 to 8 inch, in lengths of 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 inch
Canning sleeves, engineering drawing. Six diameters, 2 to 8 inch. Lengths 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5 inch.

The smallest part we mould is this one: a 60 gram sleeve for the construction industry, drawn at the plant and run on our own presses.

Tonnage decides what a press can hold shut. Between 380 and 2250 tons, across ten lines, both ends of the range run in the same plant.

Design on demand: start with a part, a sketch, or a competitor's product you want improved. Design, 3D modelling, professional drawings and prototyping all happen on site.

From desk to line

  1. On the desk: your part, sketch, or sample
  2. On screen: a 3D model and professional drawings
  3. In hand: a prototype, before production
  4. In production: ten lines, presses to 2250 tons

When the catalogue does not have it, ask what the presses can make. Call 888.778.2473.
