Elite has specialized in prototype injection molding and tooling services for many years and has proven to be one of the best in the industry. We are able to save our customers both time and money by providing molds built with aluminum or softer steels such as P20. By utilizing aluminum or soft steel for the mold instead of harder steel, we can help reduce your overall tooling cost. Not only is it less expensive, but by choosing aluminum, your machine time will also be cut in half, which means shorter lead times. With aluminum/soft steel molds, you can even get production quantities on simple designs.

We are an excellent choice if you are trying to find a supplier for a quick-turnaround project that involves getting preproduction parts before the production tool is complete. We can even provide simple open-and-close parts in three to five weeks. This way, you can have parts to fulfill your needs while you are waiting for production tooling to be complete. Also, this will allow you to test your part design and ensure your assembly will work perfectly.
