i-mold: Two Decades in Injection Mold Making

It’s now two years since i-mold was set up as a separate, independent supplier to injection mold makers.

Another string to its bow is the distribution of Heatlock hot runner systems, Nanomold coatings and gate adjusters. Since August 2023, i-mold has been enjoying its spacious new premises in Michelstadt, still in the same region, where there is plenty of room for future expansion.
