When it comes to plastics technology and plastic injection moulding, no one can beat us. And there are good reasons for that: with over 55 years of experience, the use of the latest injection moulding technology, precise knowledge of the market and more than 200 tools for injection moulding machines, we ensure results of the highest precision and highly accurate concepts.
Whether prototypes, individual or series parts, small, medium or large series, complex assemblies or the manufacture of fixtures: we always meet our customers' individual requirements.
Right from the start, we focus on the highest quality: depending on customer specifications and customer benefits, we select high-quality plastics (such as ABS, PA 66 GF30 and many more) and use them in production. The result is products that are characterised by exceptional longevity and durability.
In addition, we stand for reliability and adherence to deadlines – from design and production to delivery.
There is only one question left: what can we do for you?
Plastics engineering service
Optical component measurement
For quality control and assurance, we test all our products using a Zeiss optical 3D measuring system.CAD – Detailed drawings (step/dxf)
For modelling purposes, we design our products in advance in a 3D view.
In addition, we work with a kinetic tool to simulate the moving processes of assemblies.Customised data sheets
Together with you, we precisely define all specified parameters as the basis for production. With the help of these firmly established data sheets, we then create control plans for quality assurance.Sampling in 3D printing
Before series production, we create sample parts using a state-of-the-art 3D printer. This allows changes to be made to the sample quickly, which not only saves time but also money.Material analysis and testing
For quality assurance purposes, we regularly subject the materials used to various tests, including hardness measurement, indentation and thermographic testing, and spectral analysis.Tool design and manufacture
A special tool is required for the production of each plastic part, which is inserted into the injection moulding machine. We design and build this tool according to your specifications.

What are MST's plastic parts made of?
We generally use ABS plastics or engineering plastics such as PA6 or PA66.
These are superior to conventional plastics in many respects, particularly when it comes to temperature resistance and mechanical strength. -
Can the plastic parts be recycled?
Material originating from production waste or prototype manufacturing is regranulated at our production facility in Mühlen.
We use the majority of this material to manufacture items that are not subject to food or pharmaceutical safety requirements. -
What are the particular advantages of plastic?
Compared to materials such as light metal, glass or porcelain, plastics are particularly light. In addition, most of them are non-conductors and provide good insulation against electricity and heat.
Further advantages include: easy mouldability, resistance to water and many acids and alkalis, they do not oxidise, are easy to clean due to their smooth surface and can be produced in a wide variety of colours.
