Inteplast, a company with over 50 years of experience in thermoplastics solutions, is a well-established contract manufacturer of high-precision plastic gear wheels for the automotive, electromechanical and healthcare sectors. In 2023, Inteplast exported more than 35 million units of gears to Europe, Asia and America, establishing partnerships with the main players in the world market.
Gears are essential for the operation of a wide variety of machines and devices (electric motors, bicycles, household appliances, robots, dispensers, etc.).
Why is industry replacing metal gears with plastic ones? Xavier Arcos, Metrology Manager and Gear Specialist at Inteplast, explains:
Inteplast has a team of engineers in the Metrology and Technical Departments who work closely with each other on each customer's projects to provide them with technological and financial solutions:
- Analytical inspection of gears using different software and hardware, as well as three-dimensional machines, computer tomography, etc.
- Selection of the most suitable thermoplastic material.
- Mould construction and validation.
- Manufacture at our plants in Vall de Bianya (Girona, Spain) and the Czech Republic with over 22,000 square metres, 100 injection moulding machines (50-320 Tn) and a 1,500 square metres clean room.
Our technical know-how, experience and latest generation technology allow Inteplast to develop gears of different types and complexity (spur, helical, worm, bevel and planetary).
Another of the company’s strengths is the standardisation of production processes backed by ISO 9001, IATF16949 (automotive) and ISO 13485 (medical devices), which guarantee the highest quality, stability and reliability of our gears.
