PRECISION OEM PARTS

About Us

We’re pleased to tell you about UPCOA: who we are, what we do, and why we’re quite fairly ranked at the top of the heap in liquid- injection molding of OEM parts in silicone, rubber and engineered elastomers. UPCOA regularly molds many parts using the newest of the thermoset/thermoplastic combination compounds known as TPRs and TPUs, as well as HCR stocks for compression/transfer applications.

UPCOA works diligently to establish long-term engineering and manufacturing relationships with customers, our broad experience in important market segments in general industry, as well as in medical devices and diagnostics systems, serving well our efforts to this end. The result: most of our customers consider us an extension of their own manufacturing capacities-their own offsite precision tooler/molder of liquid-injection molded (LIM) parts and components.

New customers frequently ask us for our own ideas on how tooling and molding should be accomplished, usually early in the design stage. They soon learn of, and develop confidence in, or talents in the mechanics of taking raw technical information and from it producing both prototype and full-contract production runs of flawless precision. With many secondary and subsequent assembly capabilities to draw upon, the UPCOA added-value team is eminently positioned to give your product a strong boost in getting to market on time and with impressive cost savings. Just get us involved early on and we’ll both benefit substantially.

We not only work to produce consistently flawless products out of disciplined tool and molding planning, we judiciously track and record every step, using GMP, SPC and full traceability of work procedures and materials. Tool design, maintenance and certain fabrication we do at our home location, with the advantages that accrue from being located near some of the finest tooling designer/builder firms in the country. Yes, we use them and learn from them.

UPCOA is ideally situated to get your LIMolded silicone/elastomer project going and to keep it going smoothly. And we’ll help you design it and manage it. We are here, also, to provide true added-value services that, in combination with UPCOA LIMolding services, synergize into significant savings to you.

UPCOA is LIMolding. UPCOA is added-value services. UPCOA is your enthusiastic partner in margin improvement.
