Design & construction of technical plastic components

Mitarbeiter entwickelt und konstruiert Bauteile mithilfe eines Computers

Our designs are consistently geared towards function, manufacturability, and assembly. With decades of experience in developing components from high-performance plastics, we take all relevant mechanical, thermal, and chemical requirements into account.

Design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly methods result in components that are not only high-performance but also efficient to manufacture. The result: reliable components with high process reliability.

Our expertise in design:
- Component design for high-performance thermoplastics
- Optimization of existing designs
- Reduction of component count and assembly effort

Toolmaking – precision as the basis for quality

A high-performance plastic component starts with a precise tool. In our own toolmaking department, we develop and manufacture high-quality injection molding tools – precisely tailored to the material, geometry, and quantity.

Close cooperation between design, toolmaking, and production enables short development times, high repeat accuracy, and consistently high component quality throughout the entire product life cycle.

Your advantages:
- In-house toolmaking with a high degree of flexibility
- Short coordination channels
- Reproducible quality in series production

Manufacturing – from prototypes to large series

Our manufacturing is specialized in sophisticated technical plastic parts. We produce prototypes, small and medium series, and large series using injection molding and complementary machining processes.

Thanks to modern machinery, qualified employees, and reliable processes, we guarantee consistently high quality – even with complex geometries and tight tolerances.

Our manufacturing expertise:
- Injection molding of technical and high-temperature-resistant plastics
- Flexible quantities
- High dimensional accuracy and repeatability

Logistics & supply security

Reliable supply chains are a key factor for success. GAPI has been supplying OEMs and suppliers—particularly in the automotive industry—on time and according to demand for many years.

Our logistics processes are designed for efficiency, transparency, and supply security, and can be flexibly adapted to your requirements.

Quality management – reliability at the highest level

Quality is an integral part of all processes at GAPI. Comprehensive quality management ensures that all products and processes meet the highest standards – from development to delivery.

The result is durable, resilient, and reliable plastic components for demanding industrial applications.
