Individual assemblies for technical plastic parts
In the swissplast thermoforming process, molded plastic parts, packaging or tool carriers are produced exactly according to the customer’s specifications and requirements. Assemblies can also be attached to plastic molded parts at the customer’s request. Final assembly can be carried out by gluing or welding.
The perfect interplay: thermoformed plastic parts from swissplast in assembly production
Plastic molded parts are added during assembly production – our special solutions
By focusing on plastic thermoforming, we deliberately set ourselves apart from the injection molding technology commonly used in the industry and also offer CNC milling of plastic only for precision work. Nevertheless, or precisely because of this, we can concentrate fully on individual solutions for your requirements.
Assembly production is a particularly flexible solution. In the course of this process, swissplast turns individual parts into workpieces that can be processed directly in your company. In practice, we attach assemblies to the plastic molded parts – exactly according to your specifications and design drawings. Fixing, the final assembly, is done by gluing or welding.
You coordinate this process step with our material specialists in advance. Even if the featherweight plastic molded part increases in weight due to the combination with the assembly, the overall weight remains low, which is still of great importance in mechanical engineering, for example, but also in e-mobility.
With this special production variant, assembly production, we are once again underlining our focus on the technologically high-quality production of prototypes and small series. This additional swissplast service represents a further service component of our company.

Interesting facts about assembly production
Assembly manufacturing is a production process in which several individual parts or components are put together to form a functional unit. The materials and parts used can vary greatly, from plastic and metal components to electronic components. The end result is an assembly that fulfills certain functions and is often part of a larger end product.
Various joining techniques are used in assembly production, such as welding, screwing or gluing, depending on the requirements for stability, durability and material properties. The process is often automated to ensure high precision and efficiency. Applications can be found in industries such as automotive engineering, medical technology and electronics, where complex products consist of many units.
Various joining techniques are used in the production of assemblies, which are tailored to the specific requirements of the product. Mechanical methods such as screws or clips offer advantages when subsequent disassembly is necessary, while thermal techniques such as ultrasonic or hot plate welding create durable and tight connections. Chemical bonding makes it possible to join different materials and complex geometries with a high degree of design freedom. The choice of technique depends on factors such as material, load and cost. Several methods are often combined to achieve the ideal solution. Automated systems increase efficiency and precision.
Component production enables the combination of different materials such as plastic, metal or glass. This variety of materials offers products with multifunctional properties, such as mechanical stability, protection against external influences and electrical connectivity. Electronic components are also often integrated into plastic housings to create robust units. The challenge is to combine materials in such a way that their individual properties are retained. Precise manufacturing processes and advanced technologies play a key role in ensuring optimum functionality.
Modern assembly production uses automation and Industry 4.0 technologies to maximize efficiency and quality. Automated assembly lines with robots and sensors enable fast and error-free production, even for complex assemblies. Intelligent systems monitor the process in real time and continuously optimize processes through data analysis and machine learning. Networked machines also ensure flexibility, as assemblies can be individually adapted without having to change the entire line. These technologies reduce waste, increase productivity and make it easier to adapt to market changes.
Assembly manufacturing makes an important contribution to the circular economy through sustainable designs. Modular assemblies make it easy to repair or replace individual components, which extends the service life of products. Plastic parts are developed in such a way that they are easier to recycle or can be made from bio-based materials. Efficient manufacturing processes and closed material cycles reduce waste and promote the use of recycled materials. This approach conserves resources, reduces costs and opens up markets that rely on sustainable solutions.
swissplast is one of the leading companies for the production of plastic assemblies. There are different methods for joining plastics, as well as plastic and metal. We offer various joining techniques for the production of assemblies for plastic molded parts: Bonding connection technology, assembly welding and riveting as well as plastic screws, plastic bonding and other techniques. Thanks to our many years of experience in the processing of plastics, we can select the long-lasting joining technology for you based on the plastic used and the intended use of the assembly. Depending on whether the plastic assemblies are used for the automotive industry, plant engineering or sanitary engineering, a different connection technology is recommended. With swissplast, you can be sure that the right joining technology is selected to ensure that your assembly will last a long time.
Thermoforming allows us to produce individual plastic moulded parts, while CNC milling enables us to customize the components. With assembly production, swissplast also takes on the next step: the connection of all components. swissplast has virtually no limits when it comes to joining techniques and materials. Very large assemblies can be produced: Particularly large and complex assemblies are assembled in our specialist department for housing construction. Using a special bonding technique (e.g. with two-component adhesives), we are able to bond metal to plastic. In principle, all sandwich components and combinations of materials are possible. For example, swissplast can combine plastic with metal, foam, foam and other materials.
As a leading company in the manufacture and processing of plastic assemblies, swissplast can support and advise you throughout the entire manufacturing process. Starting with the precise planning of your project and the sounding out of the technical feasibility, through the forming of the plastic parts by thermoforming and the detailed work thanks to CNC milling, to the production of assemblies using bonding and welding technology, swissplast supplies you with everything from a single source. So don’t hesitate to contact us and send us an inquiry about plastic assembly production. Our team will be happy to advise you and make you an offer that meets your requirements and suits you.
