Injection molding offers an excellent level of finish for plastics and aluminum, thanks to the ability to integrate textures and structural elements, even in small production runs. Although the higher initial investments in steel molds used to be an obstacle, we have managed to reduce these costs, making injection molding now cost-effective even for lower production volumes. Our years of experience in developing injection-molded products make this method even more appealing.

By starting production with smaller quantities, without compromising on quality, products can be effectively tested and new markets can be explored. Any scaling up to larger volumes can then take place gradually and smoothly, with our guidance ensuring a seamless transition.
Rob on producing high quality in small series.
Products can achieve a high-quality finish by applying textures, coatings, printing, and inserts. By considering aspects such as assembly, disassembly, repair options, and recycling in the design of assemblies, this approach seamlessly aligns with the demands of modern times.
Alternative production methods such as casting, thermoforming, 3D printing, and milling have limitations regarding geometry and available materials. In contrast, with injection molding, we can improve the material properties by adding specific additives, each of which has a positive effect on the final quality of the product. This allows us to increase stiffness, enhance flame retardant properties, and improve wear resistance. This freedom to optimize materials at the property level is one of the main advantages of injection molding. Furthermore, technical components and functions can be integrated directly into the design, reducing the complexity of assemblies.

For Buchrnhornen, we developed a fitting tool that allows the sizing for shoes to be determined on-site. The different size distributions are clearly arranged in an injection-molded box with a transparent lid. This project was completed within a few months, and the first production run includes 500 units.
The molds under our management are handled with care and regularly maintained. This allows us to guarantee shot quality and meet tight delivery schedules. GBO Innovation makers currently manages more than 200 molds for (inter)national clients.
With our factories, we can provide a commercial proposal starting from 500 units. Our project managers create a business plan that demonstrates the profitability of the project.
The beauty of GBO Innovation makers is that they go beyond just the design phase and provide proof of concept by actually producing the product. GBO Innovation Makers has succeeded in transforming sensor innovation into an exclusive, elegant, and comfortable wearable with a unique electrode measurement technology. Subsequently, GBO produced an exclusive series of EEG headsets in a limited edition.
