Express Service for Rubber Composite Parts
With our Express Service, we deliver molded rubber and composite parts in record time. Prototypes are typically available on request after 2 weeks, with series production starting after 4 weeks.
Accelerated transformation from concept to prototype
Speed
From toolmaking and initial sampling to the start of series production in just 4 weeks.
In-house toolmaking expertise
In-house toolmaking for maximum speed and flexibility.
Optimized processes
Processes are optimized for speed, and the team communicates smoothly and quickly.
Always on schedule – even when it’s urgent
Reliable, on-time performance for spare parts, rush orders, development projects, and short-notice ramp-ups.
01
Project discussion & order approval (Week 1)
You provide component CAD data, a component description, intended use, and target material properties. We immediately provide feedback on feasibility and timing.
02
Toolmaking & material ordering (Weeks 1–2)
We manufacture a custom tool in-house and place a rush order for any required raw materials.
03
Initial sampling & series release (Week 3)
You receive the first article samples for inspection. Upon approval, we launch series production immediately.
04
Series production & delivery (Week 4)
We produce your rubber composite parts, and begin immediately shipping partial quantities directly to you.

Do you have questions?
We have answers!
How quickly will I receive prototypes and series products via the Express Service?
Prototypes are typically available on request after 2 weeks, with series production starting after 4 weeks. Our in-house toolmaking and coordinated processes make this speed possible.
Which components can be manufactured in the Express Service?
We manufacture molded rubber parts, silicone and TPE components, as well as rubber composite parts with metal, plastic, or fabric. Special materials are ordered via a rush order, and we start production as soon as they are available.
Can the stated lead times always be guaranteed?
No. The figures are guideline values that depend primarily on the availability of raw material, as well as on component complexity and the speed of approvals.
What impact does raw material availability have on the Express Service?
Standard compounds are typically in stock or available at short notice; special formulations can extend timelines. In those cases, we either source from raw material suppliers that offer express delivery or conduct preliminary sampling with a faster-available material. At enquiry, we verify material availability, secure alternatives, and coordinate every step with you.
Does quality in the Express Service differ from series production?
No. The same standards apply for the Express Service. Precision, dimensional accuracy, and material quality are identical to regular series deliveries.
What quantities can be covered by the Express Service?
The Express Service is ideal for prototypes, pre-series, and small to medium series. For high-volume series, the same tools can be used immediately without requiring adjustments.
What prerequisites must be met for the Express Service?
A CAD model or a component drawing, plus close coordination, is sufficient. We develop the tooling concept and start implementation immediately.
What advantages does the Express Service offer for my projects?
You can significantly shorten development times, reduce project risks, and accelerate market access – without compromising on quality or reliability.
