- Ultrasonic Welding
- Vibration Welding
- Assembly and Testing
- Pad Printing
The Technical Injection Molding Department comprises 16 40t to 650t machines for the production of technical precision parts, industrial and aesthetic components for multiple sectors.
Depending on the components’ technical characteristics and production volumes, GHEPI evaluates with the Customer process automations to reduce cost and optimize lead-time.
The Food & Medical Department is composed of an ISO Class 8 Clean Room with 7 125t to 250t injection molding machines for the production of food packaging items, in particular closure systems and coffee capsules, and medical devices for various applications, including cardiac surgery.
The Clean Room is also utilized for IMD (in-mold decoration) and electronic devices (food-approved polymers) for the low particulate matter levels.
