Assembly & Decoration

From Production to Finished Product

Many of the injection-molded products we manufacture at R&D Plastics are multi-component assemblies, which often require coordination among multiple vendors. When those steps are split across multiple vendors, timelines stretch, communication becomes more complex and quality issues can be harder to control. Work with R&D Plastics and you gain a single partner that not only produces your part, but also delivers it finished, functional and ready for its next destination.

Our team brings more than three decades of experience to the entire manufacturing process, from engineering to finishing. Completing your project with R&D delivers significant benefits to you and your team, including:

  • Better quality control
  • Faster production times 
  • Lower overall cost
  • Improved design for manufacturability
  • A single, fully accountable point of contact
