Plastic Injection Moulding and Thermoset Production in Switzerland
Silac manufactures plastic parts in both small and large production runs. At our facility in Euthal, we produce customised components using thermoplastic and 2K injection moulding, as well as thermoset processing, primarily by compression moulding. The choice of manufacturing process depends on the application, material requirements and function of the component.
Production focuses on reliable processes, consistent quality and on-time delivery. Fully automated systems, digital production planning and regular quality controls support reliable series production.
A dedicated production facility is available for applications with high hygiene requirements. Here, Silac manufactures plastic parts and packaging solutions for the food industry in accordance with stringent hygiene and process-safety requirements.
Our Production Processes
Silac processes thermoplastics using injection moulding, combines two plastic components through 2K injection moulding and manufactures thermoset parts primarily by compression moulding. The most suitable process depends on the component’s function, material, mechanical requirements and production volume.
Thermoplastics Injection Moulding
Versatile plastic parts in a wide range of shapes, colours and functions. Suitable for packaging, closures and technical components.
Two-Component Injection Moulding (2K)
Combination of hard and soft materials in a single production step. Suitable for seals, handles, closures and functional components.
Thermoset Processing
Durable plastic parts with high dimensional stability, mechanical strength and temperature resistance. Primarily manufactured by compression moulding for demanding applications such as housings and electrical components.
Digital Production
Silac uses digital systems to plan, monitor and document production processes. This includes the Arburg master computer system, which centrally manages machine data, production orders and manufacturing processes.
Training, service and work instructions are also digitalised. The digital twin contains instructions, videos and machine documentation, which employees can access directly during their daily work.
This supports efficient workflows, short communication channels and transparent production processes.
Processing of Recycled Materials
Recycled plastics place higher demands on materials testing, process control, and quality assurance. Silac uses recycled materials where they are technically suitable for the specific application.
Modern injection moulding machines support the processing of recycled plastics. Process control systems help compensate for variations in material quality and identify deviations in the injection process at an early stage.
Silac also processes suitable recycled materials using thermoplastic injection moulding. Together with our customers, we assess which material best meets the requirements of the application, function and product quality.
What Sets Silac’s Production Apart
Production as Part of the Overall Process
At Silac, production is integrated into the entire process – from consulting through to logistics. This allows technical questions to be clarified early and production processes to be planned with practical requirements in mind.
For customers, this means reliable processes even when production volumes change or new materials are introduced. All steps are coordinated under one roof.
