Silicone Injection Molding
Silicone injection-molded parts, from large to small
We manufacture silicone injection-molded parts usingboth single- and multi-component production processes. Using our own injection molding machines, with automated material feeding, modern curing ovens, on-site and centralized quality assurance, and in a clean factory environment, we produceseveral billion parts each yearfora variety of industries.
Our production is based exclusively on customer orders—100% custom.
Certified industry standardsandstate-of-the-art production conditions—such as mobile monitoring of the equipment via a control room system—enable us to manufactureelastomer parts with minimal burrs and no waste or need for post-processing. The combination of extensive development experience, our in-house laboratory, our own toolmaking facility, the use of sophisticated automation systems, and the seamless coordination of all process steps enablesfully automated 24-hour production.

Unmanned Nighttime Production
-
RICO's injection molding production runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
-
However, from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., we operate during what are known as "ghost shifts"—no staff is on site.
