What is injection molding technology?
Injection molding is one of the most established technologies for producing plastic components. It is a process in which plastic granulate is melted and then injected under pressure into a special mold. The prepared material then hardens, resulting in a product – so-called molded part – with a defined shape and parameters.
At Knauf Industries, we ensure the highest quality of service delivery and manufacturing process
We guarantee the support of our engineering team and a comprehensive approach to the production of plastic parts. We offer professional technological advice and efficient implementation of the injection molding process.

One stop shop. More than standard
Thanks to over 20 years of experience, a modern technology park and the implementation of additional services in the one-stop-shop concept, we ensure the highest quality of services and production of injected components.
A modern production facility Knauf Industries plastic parts are made in our production plant in Wrocław (Nowa Wieś Wrocławska). The base of the injection molding machine park is a set of modern machines, including over 20 injection molding machines, with a clamping force from 80 T to as much as 2000 T. Presses equipped with SEPRO manipulators are additionally supported by 6-axis ABB robots that perfectly cope with more complex operations such as e.g. cutting of injected parts, gradation and flame cutting.
High quality and reliability of plastic injection confirmed by certificates
The quality of our plastic products is confirmed by numerous certificates, including IATF 16949 (quality system in the automotive industry) and ISO 9001:2009. We adhere to high production standards, offering our customers top-shelf solutions. All processes and products comply with local and global regulations. At every stage of production, we also focus on taking care of the environment and applying the principles of sustainable development. We are committed to reducing the impact of our operations on the natural environment as much as possible, which is why our plants implement an energy-saving strategy and meet the highest environmental protection standards.
