Custom Injection Molded Handles for OEM Products

Injection molding produces plastic components by injecting material into a mold and allowing the part to form within the tool. For OEM handles, the process can create repeatable shapes, integrated features, and production-ready components. Midwest Molding supports related processes such as straight injection molding, two-shot molding, overmolding, insert molding, and composite molding for complex product requirements.

Yes. Midwest Molding supports custom molded component programs with tooling design and build, project engineering, mold flow analysis, part reformulation, and production molding. Handle programs can use straight injection molding, two-shot molding, overmolding, insert molding, composite molding, or multi-component assembly depending on the design and product requirements.

Available processes include straight injection molding, two-shot molding, pre-mold and overmolding, insert and composite molding, and multi-component assembly. The appropriate approach depends on the handle’s geometry, materials, inserts, color or material requirements, and assembly needs. Midwest Molding’s engineering team can support process selection during project development.

Yes. Midwest Molding provides prototype and production tool design and build with cradle-to-grave project management. Tooling support includes mold flow analysis, ES testing, project engineering, and part reformulation opportunities for cost savings. The team supports tooling through the life of the program and can coordinate the transition into production.

Yes. Insert and composite molding combines plastic with inserts or other materials to create complex components. Pre-mold and overmolding can also place plastic over existing parts, substrates, or inserts. Multi-component assembly is available when molded parts need to be combined with additional components into a finished assembly.

Company information identifies automotive, transportation, electronics, consumer goods, appliance, HVAC, and related manufacturing applications. The company also supports automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, electrical connector and terminal manufacturers, sensor and control device OEMs, wire harness buyers, and product companies needing prototype-to-production tooling.

Midwest Molding is located at 1560 Hecht Drive, Bartlett, Illinois 60103, USA. The company operates from a 120,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility with fully electric injection molding equipment and project engineering support. Contact the company directly to discuss production availability, project requirements, and scheduling.

Begin by sharing the handle design, intended application, required inserts or materials, expected assembly needs, and project objectives. Midwest Molding can review the concept and identify suitable tooling, molding, overmolding, insert molding, or assembly capabilities. The team can then discuss engineering support, tooling development, production requirements, and next steps.
