H&L Advantage has the ISO Certified resources to meet your needs and schedule. We offer you the benefit of being located in west Michigan where the history of manufacturing is a proud and highly skilled heritage, and the work ethic is strong.
A few of the technical advantages and benefits we offer:
By implementing leading edge industrial design technology, and plastic product manufacturing techniques, our design team can make even the roughest concept into a realistic plastic product and our production team can transform your plastic product idea into reality. Our plastic product manufacturing abilities also include packaging so you will be ready for market and ready to profit from your plastic product ideas.
Our years of experience designing plastic parts and assemblies, as well as tool design, can serve to take your plastic product manufacturing project from initial concept (even a napkin sketch) right through to production.
The Solidview CAD system we use for design is capable of interfacing with multiple software systems such as Pro-E, IGES, DXF, and DWG.
By utilizing electronic data transfer, everyone involved in the design process is kept up-to-date at every stage of a project, in real time and regardless of location or distance.

H&L Advantage has 19 plastic injection molding machines ranging from 28 to 730 ton, with state-of-the-art controls to help eliminate variation in the lean manufacturing processes, and larger machines are available as needed.
Robotic extractors in the plastic injection molding process help ensure consistent cycle times, minimize downtime, and create a "lean" plastic production system.
Plastic recycling measures provide not only environmental friendliness, it also minimizes waste and cuts costs.
Our custom, ISO Certified injection molding capabilities are further enhanced with the ability to meet exact color requirements using MacBeth color control equipment.
Secondary and assembly operations are logically set up in work cell environments; this further enhances lean manufacturing practices to minimize and eliminate wasted time and material handling.

Plastic Injection Molding Products and Services
Far More Than Plastic Injection Molding Alone Can Achieve
You will receive the benefits of our plastics production expertise whether you come to us with detailed product design specifications, or with something as simple as an idea you quickly sketched using whatever paper you could find at the time. The plastic products manufacturing process begins with design and tooling, perhaps a prototype, and requires an understanding of materials and assembly. Whether you need one of these services or all of them, that is your H&L Advantage.
H&L Advantage's custom injection molding capabilities include the following:
-
Insert molding - add threaded, tapped, and other types of fasteners during the molding cycle, in our vertical "shuttle" molding presses.
-
Stack mold capability - take advantage of two tools in one machine!
-
Shuttle molding - make multiple parts in one molding cycle adding studs, clips, or inserts directly in the mold.
-
Gas assist molding - the ability to create hollow parts.
-
Standard horizontal presses - optimize quality products while providing cost control to maintain our "lean manufacturing" commitment.
Multiple resin durometers are available as over-molded products too, creating a "soft touch" sensation while maintaining a rigid connection capability. ISO procedures guarantee consistent results in the manufacturing process.
Multi-piece products can be produced and assembled at a single location giving you the benefit of having a finished, ready-to-use product with minimal freight costs.
H&L Advantage can integrate nearly any material into the plastic products manufacturing process. With available metal finishing, expertise in plastics, hot stamping, pad printing, fasteners, assembly, sonic welding, and packaging, H&L can provide you with the "Advantage" of having the entire project completed at one location.
