Plastic injection molding with thermoplastics and thermosets as well as high-performance and bioplastics
BKT has been manufacturing plastic injection molded parts for over half a century. This makes us one of the most experienced specialists in plastic injection molding. Our range includes classic, conventional injection molding, overmolding and insert-/outsert-molding. We only use high-quality injection molding machines, such as the ARBURG brand, and almost all materials and additives are possible. Custom-made products and small series are just as welcome as large series.
