We perfected our thermosets in the electrical industry, where products are often subjected to harsh temperatures and high electrical currents. Typical thermoset applications include printed circuit boards, electronic chips, electrical relay sockets and molded plastic enclosures. Thermoset plastics can also be used for a wide range of non-electrical applications.

From the President of the company to the guys in shipping, the folks at Nicolet are host, hardworking and down to earth, some of the best people I’ve ever worked with.

Mercury Marine is very selective in who they use as suppliers. Companies must meet the high quality standards and flexibility that Mercury Marine requires. Nicolet Plastics has consistently met these criteria. Nicolet Plastics and Mercury Marine engineering and purchasing departments worked together to redesign and prototype an existing part. Each prototype met all the specialized criteria, and through combined innovation Nicolet Plastics was able to move the part into production. The cost came in very low, allowing Mercury Marine to save money and use a better quality part. Nicolet Plastics adapts very quickly to change, can do custom work and provides each client with the personal attention they deserve.

Our clients are involved in the project, ensuring they get the desired results. Every industry has different needs and specifications, so we want our clients to know the process from start to finish.

Primarily, injection molding is used to create different objects, from everyday household items to parts for cars, computers, and much more.

We take on complex injection mold projects, a challenge we’re willing to take on to deliver innovative products. Doing business with us means we can help you develop a fantastic injection molded plastic design that will work with whatever project it’s intended for.

Modor thermosets consist of the highest quality polymers backed by an industry-leading strength-to-price ratio. We test all thermosets using a combination of insulating properties testing, electrical breakdown, electrical current resistance and dimensional distortion testing to ensure performance and reliability.

With our differentiated and exceptional skills and expertise, we can create better plastic parts according to your needs and preferences. Our full-service custom injection molding service allows us to work with you every step of the way.

We’ve put together a basic glossary of terms to help customers better understand their project quote and molding technology options.

Nicolet Plastics is a custom plastic injection molding manufacturer that’s focused on enhancing our clients’ success by creating superior plastic components, all while maintaining a commitment to speed, adaptability, and versatility. We collaborate with you to develop designs that optimize value. Excitingly, we've embraced Mantle 3D metal printing for rapid production tooling, bringing the future to the present!

Thermoset plastics, also known as thermosets, are plastics that undergo an irreversible curing and bonding process to mitigate the risk of deformation. Unlike thermoplastics that can soften when heated, cured thermoset plastics cannot be reshaped, making them ideal for high-temp electrical applications.

Time-to-market is critical to being competitive. We pushed Nicolet Plastics to provide tools within a very aggressive timeline and they delivered samples in just six weeks.

Contact us now for all your plastic part needs, whether it’s a complex or simple design. We’ll guide you through the process – from concept to completion.

I have been working with Nicolet Plastics for 13 years and have never been disappointed. The people at Nicolet Plastics have a true open door policy, and extreme flexibility.

Nicolet Plastics is a Carbon 3D Production Partner which provides on-demand manufacturing and tool-free design flexibility and speed.

Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which Nicolet Plastics specializes in. It’s all about producing plastic parts in high quantities, performed by injecting melted materials (typically plastic) into molds. We often utilize this mass production process to manufacture hundreds or thousands of identical plastic items.

With our value added services, you can reduce labor and overhead, SKUs, and consolidate vendors. Spend more time doing what your company does best!

Working with us means we will answer any questions you may have about injection molding. We’re one of the most trusted injection molding companies that will guide you through the process, so you understand how we can finish the project and deliver perfect results. No matter how large your orders may be, we’re ready to work with you to create an innovative design that fits your standards.

The first project I ever worked on with Nicolet Plastics, Inc. was in the mid 80’s, and since then the partnership has only grown stronger. Nicolet is willing to try anything to produce the results the client is looking for.

They want to be involved in the entire process of your project so they can truly understand the objectives that need to be fulfilled. In my experience, it is rare to find a plastic injection molding company that has the combination of in-house tooling and molding that they do. The quality produced is phenomenal.

Nicolet Plastics adapts very quickly to change, can do custom work and provides each client with the personal attention they deserve.

Thermoset plastics are comprised of several polymer chains that are chemically bonded together to form cross-linked molecular meshes. This “thermally set” cross-linking structure is extremely durable and provides vastly improved dimensional stability over traditional thermoplastics. As a result, thermosets will never soften, fatigue or melt. Additional benefits include:

They are on the cutting edge with tooling, equipment and design capabilities. Their design review team provides excellent input; they are creative solution-finders and are very easy to work with. NPI delivers a timely response on product and a quick turn around on tools.

Speed of innovation is a great advantage in a competitive global market where getting ahead means reducing the costs behind the product.

When challenged with difficult mold designs Nicolet is able to simplify the process, thereby reducing costs. Utilizing their in-house rapid prototype machine allows the toolmaker to better understand how the tool needs to be created. One quality control advantage that Nicolet provides for the customer is their storyboards, which detail the proper measurements and color specifications of each piece. Through this self-certification process, Nicolet offers customers the assurance of knowing that each piece is manufactured to exact specifications. I have come to expect that quality work will always be there. You don’t realize how good Nicolet is until you try to compare quality and price somewhere else.
