In the fascinating world of plastic manufacturing, diversity thrives in myriad forms and sizes!

While discussing plastic components for the automotive sector, we often conjure up images of sizable, conspicuous parts that accompany our daily drives. However, the plastic molding industry offers a far more extensive range of products than just dashboards and fenders.

At world-leading injection molding company NS KUNSTSTOFFTECHNIK - CZ, for example, they manufacture tens of million pieces annually, and interestingly, many of these components are relatively petite.  With weights varying between a mere 0.15 grams and approximately 1.21 grams per unit, they’re a long way from the images of car parts many of us envision.

Boasting a production line containing a huge fleet of injection molding machines that operate tirelessly to fulfill the demands of esteemed clients like BMW Group and Škoda Auto, the sight of an endless line of parts conveying across the factory can be quite mesmerizing.

Being distributed across Europe, the United States, and beyond, the distinctive feature of these tiniest of parts lies in the use of an innovative "Poka Yoke" solution - a Japanese term signifying "mistake-proofing" or "inadvertent error prevention," - which is fully integrated in to every step of NS-K’s assembly line.

This transformational lean manufacturing technique stands as a universal asset to clients, consistently proving its worth as an efficiency-enhancing powerhouse and enabling an assurance of quality that is hard to rival.
