Injection Mold Company for Pennsylvania

BMJ Mold and Engineering, a plastic injection mold company in Kokomo, Indiana, can build high quality molds for Pennsylvania manufacturers, such as:

  • Custom portion-control packaging for a major food condiment manufacturer in Pittsburgh
  • A shipping cover for a machinery manufacturer in Harrisburg
  • A pill inspection tray for a Philadelphia pharmaceuticals manufacturer
  • A gallon-size container for a dairy in Lancaster
  • A novelty package for a candy maker in Hershey

We provide injection mold maintenance and repair, as well as state-of-the-art tooling and machining services, to help reduce down-time and keep Pennsylvania's manufacturing companies operating efficiently.

Pennsylvania Manufacturing Industries: The Statistics May Surprise You

Although Pennsylvania is known as a coal state, mining only amounts to 0.6% of the state's economy, compared to 1.3% for the country as a whole. Chemical manufacturing (especially pharmaceuticals) is the # 1 manufacturing industry in the state, with $16.24 Billion in revenue in 2004. 

Pennsylvania's top manufacturing industries (see sidebar) rely heavily on injection molding for the vital plastic parts needed to:

  • Measure, test or safely store a chemical
  • Assemble a conveyor belt on a manufacturing machine
  • Add the conveyor belt to a dairy's packaging machine; or
  • Supply the dairy with the package for their product.

And every one of those parts, packages and components required an injection mold.

Let BMJ be your plastic injection mold company. Our premium extended warranty program will give you peace-of-mind because the molds designed and built by BMJ are guaranteed to retain their integrity throughout a specific number of cycles.

Injection Mold Company for Pennsylvania's Chemical and Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industries

Chemical manufacturing is Pennsylvania's largest manufacturing industry. The chemical sector accounted for more than $16 Billion total revenue, more than double that of food production, the state's 2nd largest manufacturing sector.

Chemical manufacturing is based on the transformation of organic and inorganic raw materials by a chemical process and the formulation of products, including:

    • Pharmaceuticals
    • Resin, rubber and artificial fibers
    • Paint, coatings & adhesives
    • Agricultural chemicals
    • Basic and other chemicals

More than 1,200 chemical manufacturers reside in Pennsylvania, employing more than 70,000 people.

The wide variety of types and grades of plastic resins available, each with specific properties and applications, makes injection molded plastic ideal for a variety of applications needing high chemical resistance and/or operating temperatures up to 300°F, such as:

    • Pumps
    • Valves
    • Pipes
    • Tubes
    • Fittings
    • Packaging

Pharmaceuticals and medicine manufacturing alone accounted for almost two-thirds of the value added from the state’s chemicals industries. 69 pharmaceutical manufacturers reside in the state, employing almost 16,000.

Injection molded plastic is the perfect packaging solution for many pharmaceutical and disposable medical products, as well as research, testing and packaging components.

  • Medical equipment in particular, may require complex molds with very intricate designs
     
  • BMJ's mold building technologies include high speed CNC milling and EDM  machining to create 3-D geometry in hardened steel and other metals like brass, copper and aluminum

Plastic Injection Mold Company for Pennsylvania's Food & Beverage Industry

Food production ranks 2nd to to the chemicals sector in Pennsylvania manufacturing industries. The sector accounted for 11.6% of the state’s value added from manufacturing in 2000.

Food manufacturing in the state is led by bakery goods, candy, and the category called “other food manufacturing,” which includes ketchup and dressings, snack foods, and seasonings.

Products needed for food packaging are relatively small and of varied design requirements.  High quality molds are the key to efficiency, productivity and economy.

  • BMJ Mold and Engineering provides the designers, engineers and craftsmen to complete any mold project to the strict specifications and requirements of food packaging manufacturers
     
  • Particularly useful to manufacture food packaging, stack molds are easily and quickly installed and replaced into frames, for fast and efficient product changes, ideal for producing a wide variety of food packaging shapes and sizes.

Injection Mold Company for Pennsylvania's Machinery Manufacturing Industry

With few exceptions, machinery manufacturers do not make headlines the way steel or motor vehicle producers do. Manufacturers in the machinery industry make the machines and equipment used in making almost everything else.

Virtually every machinery company uses injection molded plastic parts as part of the building process, as either internal components like gears or hose connectors; or as external switches, knobs or buttons.

1,474 machinery manufacturing and related establishments in Pennsylvania employ nearly 55,000 people. The sector generated nearly $4 Billion in revenue.

BMJ's mold building technologies include high speed CNC milling and EDM  machining to create 3-D geometry in hardened steel and other metals like brass, copper and aluminum. Many machinery manufacturers utilize our services for prototype development, or to create one-off metal parts for custom-made machines.
