Talk To Us About Your Project & Get A Quotation For Your Tooling And/Or Plastic Injection Molded Parts
At Agilian, we have been assembling electro-mechanical products – mostly portable electronics – since 2018. Most of our customers’ products include a plastic enclosure, and some also need various custom-designed internal parts.
In mid-2022, we decided to take more control over that manufacturing. We formed Agilian’s sister company, named Agilian Plastic & Molds (AgP&M), to handle tooling fabrication and plastic injection molding parts in China, and we located it just behind Agilian’s building.
What we offer at our tooling and plastic injection molding facility
(AgP&M) is divided into three areas:
1
Design Office
This is where we do a DFM review on the design of your parts and we suggest changes as needed, and where we design the tooling. (Note, Agilian’s in-house purchasing team takes care of buying the blocks of steel.)
2
Tooling shop
This is where we machine the blocks of metal into the finished molds. Includes CNC and traditional milling, EDM cutting, grinders, and other equipment. All intended for local injection in China.
3
Plastic Injection shop
Plastic injection presses (starting with small and midsize parts: 90T and 200T) with automated unloading arms, and quality control.
Long production lead times and inconsistent quality in China aren’t inevitable. They simply result from a lack of production planning and process controls.

Key benefits for you
The main purpose is to control the process tightly and reduce risks, in many ways. Here are three of the main benefits for our customers that we work for on tooling and plastic injection molding parts in China:
- Avoid relying on external suppliers that design & fabricate the plastic injection molds (which can be “lost”, or made in an inferior metal). There is always a small chance an external party makes similar-looking products that will compete with our customers.
- Control the exact type of polymer used. When a Chinese plastic supplier says “this is ABS”, for instance, they usually pick a cheap brand of ABS and they don’t share those details. But different grades of a given plastic material come with very different levels of performance (physical strength but also flammability, UV resistance, etc.) for the finished product. Picking the right brand and sticking to it is quite important.
- Building deep knowledge about plastic polymers, the injection process, and the testing processes (in our testing lab), allows us to detect and manage risks better. It also helps in providing better design tips to our customers.
