Vietnam has become increasingly competitive in the field of precision injection molding.
Companies in China, traditionally used for outsourcing such parts, are experiencing growing labor problems. This increases product prices to a higher level than currently possible in Vietnam.
But it is also there that at existing non-offshore sources much progress has been made in tooling design, mold making, precision injection molding and quality control.
Many Japanese companies move their production from China to Vietnam. And with this comes their enforced quality system. Automotive plastic parts are now being outsourced in Vietnam, which means the possibility of zero-defect outside offshore production.
Clean room injection molding, welding and other types of assembling are all being done at highest level.
AOC works direct with the Vietnamese mold engineers and quality departments. And because you are in daily contact, there is no operational difference in outsourcing to Vietnam, than there is to an injection molding company in your hometown.
For less demanding plastic parts, or for parts in small quantities that need cheap tooling, AOC offers also mold making and production by local contacts in Vietnam.
Professional product design can be done as well in cooperation with AOC, and further all needed CAD work, assemblies, printing, hot stamping and packaging are possible.
For such projects, many companies in Shenzhen offer their services. Having however a reliable Western plastic processing engineer on the ground as your contact person, makes all the difference.

It gives you direct inside in the tooling cost of your plastic parts project, and as such a useful feasibility tool.
