Achieve the right touch and performance with over molding

What is the benefit of over molding?

Over molding is an injection molding process where two or more materials are combined into a single part for easier handling or gripping.

If your product requires a softer touch — for easier handling or gripping, consider over molding with Ferriot, for example — Ferriot’s design team can help you achieve the right touch and performance with an attractive two-color exterior.

Think about how people handle your products. Would a softer grip help? For one client, we developed a softer, easier touch on an operating room light for better handling during surgery.

While hand tools come readily to mind, the possibilities are endless.

The point is that Ferriot’s true capacity is our institutional expertise in resin selection to support innovative solutions. With a veteran team of engineers, we design and engineer custom solutions that didn’t exist yesterday (except in the minds of our customers).

Our experience covers the knowledge of good Design for Manufacturability, a comprehensive understanding of all thermoplastic resin families, and injection mold design expertise.

Typically, we stock more than 150 varieties of resins at any given time in our 200,000-square-foot facility, conveniently located to the major markets of the Midwest and East Coast.

As one of the few “systems houses” in North America, Ferriot can step in at any point in the manufacturing process because our engineering, design, molding, and tooling, and finishing technologies can be applied to products in concept development or at any other stage of production.

Ferriot’s manufacturing services extend through final assembly, complete with custom color, cosmetic finishing, and production.
