Innovative Manufacturing

PROCESSES

Insert & Multi-Material Plastic Injection Molding

Since 1992, Innovative Components has specialized in insert molding. Whether you require a custom molded part or a selection from our extensive line of proprietary plastic clamping knobs and handles, Innovative Components has the skills and experience needed to deliver high quality parts on time. We utilize the most advanced rotary presses in the industry with multiple cavity tools. The sophistication of our equipment has allowed us to minimize set-up time and in-process adjustments, maximizing output. Our two plants in Schaumburg, IL USA and Cartago, Costa Rica operate 24 hours/day, 5-7 days per week, striving for optimum capacity and economically absorbing overhead. This high capacity production enables us to offer our customers blended off-shore/domestic supply with the competitive pricing expected in today’s global marketplace without the risks inherent in import sourcing.  

CNC SWISS MACHINING

We have recently added CNC Swiss Machining equipment to our factory in Cartago, Costa Rica. The lower labor rates of Central America and short transit times allow us to give our customers significant savings with competitive lead times. Whether you need a custom machined component or special inserts for one of our offerings from our extensive line of plastic clamping knobs, Innovative Components can deliver high quality parts and attractive prices.

SECONDARIES/ASSEMBLIES

Both of our factories can offer extensive secondary machining and assembly operations. 

Our collection of lathes, mills, grinders, presses, drills and assorted other secondary equipments allow us to offer such options as tapping, pointing, shaving, drilling, slotting, cross-drilling, and crimping on fasteners and metal parts. In many cases, we can utilize a standard cold-formed fastener with secondary operations to reduce the cost versus custom machined parts.  Low-cost labor in our Costa Rican factory makes us exceptionally competitive for labor-intensive operations.
