The most innovative and efficient vehicles will succeed in the market. The same dynamics impact the transportation industry as well. AIM Processing can meet the needs of manufacturers for these two markets by providing complex, small, plastic injection molded parts using cost-effective, repeatable processes. AIM Processing supports parts for both new vehicles and after-market manufacturers.
Expertise for optimum material selection
Our mechanical engineers have expertise and experience with a broad range of engineering plastics. The engineers can address a wide range of requirements for parts including strength, hardness, chemical resistance, stress concentration, and shrinkage. With our guidance, we can help you make the best choice of material for your application.
Optimizing the manufacturing process
Our engineers will work with your engineers to define the most efficient process for manufacturing your part. We have experience in molding a wide range of parts including hose connectors and electrical fittings for wire harnesses. Also, we have expertise in working with glass-filled nylon.
Replacing metal with plastic
In many cases, new plastic materials have the equivalent mechanical properties of metals such as aluminum. Our expertise in metal replacement can convert metal parts such as bushings, gears, standoffs, and brackets into plastic components. You can benefit from parts with 40 – 50% lower weight, 50% lower parts cost, improved environmental resilience, and noise reduction in your product.
Meeting specific requirements with Insert molding and overmolding
A metal part is necessary to meet your requirements for high strength and hardness, but you need resistance to environmental damage or electrical insulation from nearby electrical or electronic circuitry. In that case, we can offer our expertise in insert molding and overmolding enabling us to form a mechanical and a chemical bond with a metal part. We create sealed surfaces and gripping surfaces for parts such as brackets, handles, electronic connectors, and threaded inserts.
Additional services to support your production
We offer mechanical assembly services that can simplify your purchasing requirements, reduce your inventory count, and reduce your costs. In addition, we can perform services such as heat staking, ultrasonic welding, laser etching and part marking that can make your manufacturing process more cost-efficient.
Maximizing tool performance
Our in-house tooling team maintains and keeps your tooling clean. We ensure that the tool continues to supply quality parts that meet all required specifications during every production run. Our care for your tooling optimizes the life of the tool to maximize your return-on-investment.
Quality-focused for consistent production
You can have confidence in the parts we manufacture for you. We are committed to the highest quality standards as evidenced by our ISO 9001:2015 registration. We execute a documented set of procedures to provide you with consistent parts that meet and exceed your requirements.
High-capacity manufacturing
We operate 37 state-of-the-art presses and operate on a 24 hour/7 day a week schedule. With a mixture of automated, lights-out production and press-side attended operations, we achieve high quality and low costs. This arrangement allows us to meet both high volume and low volume requirements. Our supply chain efficiency and sophisticated forecasting models enable us to ship over 85% of custom parts from stock. That allows us to provide on-time delivery. In addition, we offer min-max production programs and will stock your parts for same day order fulfillment and just-in-time delivery.
We can solve your challenges with our innovative and cost-effective solutions for injection molded components.

Automotive injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce high-precision plastic components for vehicles. It involves injecting molten plastic into a mold to create durable and lightweight parts with complex shapes. This process is commonly used for making dashboards, bumpers, interior panels, lighting components and under-the-hood parts. Automotive injection molding offers benefits such as cost-effective mass production, design flexibility, and a high strength-to-weight ratio, helping improve vehicle performance, safety, and fuel efficiency.
Injection molding is widely used in the automotive industry to produce durable, lightweight, and high-precision plastic components. It is used to manufacture parts such as dashboards, bumpers, door panels, grilles, lighting components, and under-the-hood elements. The process allows for mass production with consistent quality, design flexibility, and cost efficiency. Additionally, injection molding supports the use of high-performance plastics that enhance vehicle safety, fuel efficiency, and overall durability.
Injection molding offers numerous benefits in automotive manufacturing, including cost-effective mass production, high precision and design flexibility. It allows for the creation of lightweight yet durable components, which contribute to improved fuel efficiency and vehicle performance. The process supports complex geometries and integrates multiple features into a single part, reducing assembly time and costs. Additionally, injection molding enables the use of various high-performance plastics that provide resistance to heat, chemicals and impact, enhancing vehicle safety and longevity.
Injection molding is used to produce a wide range of parts in the automotive industry, including interior and exterior components. Common parts made using this process include dashboards, door panels, bumpers, grilles, cup holders and air vents. It is also used for functional components such as battery casings, engine covers and under-the-hood parts. Additionally, injection molding helps create lighting components, electrical connectors and sensor housings, ensuring durability, precision and cost-effective manufacturing for modern vehicles.
Injection molding is preferred in automotive production because it allows for the cost-effective, high-volume manufacturing of durable and lightweight plastic components. The process ensures precision, consistency and the ability to create complex designs with tight tolerances. It also supports a wide range of high-performance materials that enhance vehicle safety, fuel efficiency and durability. Additionally, injection molding reduces material waste, shortens production cycles and streamlines assembly by integrating multiple features into a single part.
