12. Best MedTech & Fluid Filter Injection Moulding Products Company 2023 terraplastik Spritzgusstechnik GmbH (terraplastik) is a globally active family business, offering customers the highest quality injection moulded products at competitive prices. Founded in 2006, the company today works with nine high-tech machines and employs 23 members of staff, manufacturing injection moulded products from a range of common thermoplastics, this in addition to offering assembly activities, as well as ultrasonic welding and riveting services. We speak to Partner Martin Bauer, to tell us more about the work the company does and the wide range of sectors it provides service to. terraplastik acts as a competent partner in the injection and molding technology industry. The company is a flexible, worldwide enterprise with West German headquarters, and has set itself the task of providing high calibre injection products at incredibly reasonable prices. Thanks to its modern injection moulding machines, the business can process all current thermoplastics up to a shot weight of up to 180 grams, with a clamping force of up to 100 tonnes. This makes the company able to produce products for a variety of industries, with medical, filtration, and building/DIY stores comprising just a few of its clientele. With humble origins in Saarland, Germany, it would be eight years after the company was founded that operations would be moved to an independent production facility, with the company at that time playing host to only three machines and six employees. The business faced continued success as a result of the team remaining committed to upholding its corporate values, and in 2018, an extension was planned which was completed the following year, elevating the company to the successful state it finds itself in today. terraplastik’s clientele is primarily manufacturers of medical technology products, as well as manufacturers of filter technology for items such as excavators, wind turbines, and agricultural machinery, for example. Some of the most valued products the company produces are connectors, funnels, O-ring caps, bushings, and BYP caps, for instance. Out of the array of products the company crafts, it is particularly proud of the simple funnels it produces for use in hospitals, with the firm boasting an impressive market share of more than 70% in Germany with this product. Furthermore, in addition to a whole host of available products, the team are happy to support a product from the idea through to series production, advising clients from planning all the way up to the production of the high-quality plastic products they seek. Close work with experienced designers and toolmakers is carried out, so restassured experts will be on hand every step of the way. There are many methods adopted by terraplastik in order to stand out from its competitors, these include the adoption of a fully airconditioned, immensely clean production that is operated solely by green electricity, channelling CHP and a photovoltaic system, in order to reduce the company’s carbon footprint. Moreover, cost leadership is attained through maximum standardisation and efficiency, and the nine totally identical machines the company uses in the production of its materials ensure that complete replaceability is possible at any time, and thus delivery capability remains on track. This allows the firm to operate on a system of absolute adherence to delivery dates. terraplastik was recently bestowed the achievement of the jury list at the ‘Grand Price of Medium-Sized Businesses’, as well as being named ‘Employer of the Future’ by DIND (German Innovation Institute for Sustainability and Digitalization) and is proud to have introduced the addition of additive manufacturing into the process over the last twelve months. This is coupled with some positive changes which have also taken place across the same period, with the introduction of quarterly employee training, and the previously mentioned conversion of the complete firm to green electricity. When asked about terraplastik’s greatest achievement, Martin explains, “Building a company in which people are the focus, values are lived, which offers safe and clean workplaces and attaches great importance to sustainability.” terraplastik’s dedication and quality leads it to stand head and shoulders above its industry competitors, going from strength to strength in the 17 years since its inception, with no signs of slowing down.
