The Insert Molding Advantage
- Automation Experts
- 47 Years Service
- Minority Owned
- Lean Manufacturing
- Presses from 30 to 400 Ton
- Design & Prototype
Insert molding is an important process for the production of a wide variety of parts and assemblies. Inserts are made of many different materials which can withstand the plastic injection molding process. Insert materials include copper, brass or steel in forms such as metal stamping, wound coils, wires and screw machined or cold headed components. Ceramic, die castings and even plastic molded parts are also commonly used as inserts.
We have been a leader in insert and composite molding technologies providing product development services, prototyping and production from cutting edge facilities in Elgin, IL and Juarez, Mexico.
Our reputation is one of ingenuity, integrity, and reliability. Miles Products is proud to deliver parts to our customers which perform as designed, on-time and on budget, regardless of complexity.
We deliver the highest quality and state-of-the-art applications of insert molded parts for your products.
Simplified Manufacturing Process
Stronger, Lighter, More Reliable
Saves Time, Reduces Costs
We Simplify the Manufacturing Process
We offer complete custom insert molding services from design to prototyping through production. All products and services are designed for manufacturability. The company is equipped for high-volume production with high-speed reel-to-reel capabilities, fully-automatic, high-cavitation production, and in-line automated welding and testing.
With insert molding, what is typically used to require a complex assembly can be produced in a single insert molded part saving our customers assembly time, labor and money.
We use a process called "reel-to-reel" or "Continuous Strip Molding". This process takes reels of metal inserts and mold miniature plastic forms, in any configuration, that are blanked out and assembled to your product.
We offer full in-house automation design, implementation and maintenance.
Our Products are Stronger, Lighter, and More Reliable
Our organization is set up to provide total quality assurance and customer service. With over 40 years experience in the insert molding industry, we will help you optimize production with a focus on lean manufacturing.
We provide direct “cradle to grave” job continuity with a single dedicated team overseeing the production at every step.
- Business Unit Manager. Leads, coordinates and continuously monitors your project team.
- Project Engineer. Directs your job from design concept through production startup.
- Manufacturing Engineer. Refines production processes to achieve greater efficiencies.
- Logistics Manager. Your dedicated contact for tracking production orders and ensuring on-time delivery.
- Quality Engineer. Designated direct contact for your parts focused on continuous improvement.
With insert molding, high performance resin composite parts are up to 70% lighter and far exceed traditional assemblies in performance and manufacturability.
We Save Time and Reduce Costs
Through all phases of the project, we use Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) to ensure maximum efficiency in high volume production. Reel-to-reel press operation allows a seamless transition from our manufacturing floor to yours. In-house tool maintenance insures maximum production efficiency and tool life.
Through our extensive sourcing capabilities, we can more efficiently fulfill your requirement for close tolerances, and deliver attractive, durable, plus dimensionally stable insert molded products.
With insert molding, you have an accurate, repeatable process and lower part count. You have design flexibility and reliability, which reduces assembly and labor costs and translates into cost savings for our customers.
