“A Conscious Company”
We are a full service custom injection molding company. Our expertise
ranges from critical tolerance engineering of complex components to
standard consumer commodity products.
Some of the market segments that Tuthill Plastics Group currently
supplies include: metering devices, pumps, defense, automotive,
consumer products, and industrial electronics.
Tuthill Plastics Group is in the process of training all of our employees to be radical leaders, encouraging them to be
courageous and powerful, creative and innovative pioneering thinkers.
Radical leaders are individuals who live from a true sense of vision and take a stand for seeing that vision fulfilled.
They operate from their own personal power, take 100% responsibility for their impact on the world and are deeply

Plastic Part Design
Prototype Molds
Production
• We can accept any Auto CAD,
Pro/ENGINEER, or SolidWorks format.
• 3D Printing Systems can quickly create a physical
acrylic resin model from an STL file to verify the
design concept and confirm its conformance to fit,
form, and function. All of these are verified before
ever cutting steel to build the mold, saving time
and money.
Tuthill Plastics Group started its journey on the road
of Lean Manufacturing in 1999—developing and
implementing the Tuthill Business Systems. This is
based on the Toyota Business System of Continuous
Improvement focusing relentlessly on the goal of
reducing waste. This starts with the voice of the
customer: listening to what they value and striving to
give them that value. As an example, we use one-piece
flow. No batching! That delivers the highest quality
products at the lowest possible cost. Many customers
rely on Tuthill Plastics Group to deliver defect-free parts
directly to their production lines.
• We use WebEx computer Meetings that allow us to
review design work on a personal and timely basis.
• 3D Solid Modeling capabilities include Fit, Form, and
Function that allow you to quickly and economically
verify your design “on screen”.
Part Analysis
• Single Cavity Prototype Molds are built with P-20
steel. With the flexibility to run from 12 to 10,000
pieces, they are very useful in proving both a part
design and the customer’s market intelligence
assumptions.
• Finite Element Analysis is used to evaluate a
component’s performance based on Strength,
Deflection, and Stress characteristics.
• Progressive-Multi-Unit Dies provide superior
product consistency, lower cost, and excellent
repeatability.
• Mold Flow Analysis allows you to identify optimum
gate location on a new part and observe flow and fill
patterns.
Production Molds
• You are never “out of the loop!”
• Tuthill Plastics Group also supports Lean Product
Development.
Metal To Plastic Conversion
We have successfully worked with new and existing
customers to convert metal parts, including stamped
steel parts, to plastic. This has increased production, and
in some cases, saved our customers as much as 27% in
cost savings.
Tuthill Plastics Group builds molds to SPI Mold
Classifications.
Most problems related to thermoplastic injection
mold production generally result from improper and
inadequate tooling. In selecting a molder, a customer
will often discount the importance of mold design and
construction, settling for a bargain tooling charge.
The results are often disastrous--inferior component
quality, higher part costs due to production difficulties,
excessive downtime, and wasted material.
a Novatech drying system that can deliver over 2,000 lbs. of
materal per hour to any of our 20 injection molding machines.
• We perform secondary operations during the molding cycle
at no additional cost to the customer when possible.
• Secondary Operations Include: Assembly of product, Custom
Product Packaging, Product Labeling, Pad Printing, Hot Foil
Stamping, Sonic Welding of parts and Brass Inserts, Date
Coding product with Ink Jet Printing. These are just some of
the value added process we offer our customers.
• Tuthill Plastics Group’s on time delivery for 2005
was over 98.5%.
• Tuthill Plastics Group is an ISO9001:2000
and UL certified facility
Quality Assurance
• We are an experienced insert molder of high
tolerance critical components as well as less critical
applications.
Tuthill Plastics Group’s ISO certification is supported by
documented procedures for processes and products. Each
product has individual inspection procedures, acceptance
standards, and process set-up sheets to ensure consistent
quality in every part we make. Our inspection department
utilizes various measurement systems including micrometers
and calipers, pin gages, a 14” optical comparator, a Mitutoyo
coordinate measuring machine, function gages, and a
microscope micrometer system. Standard operating procedures
exist for processes such as nonconforming product control,
internal auditing, corrective and preventive actions, order review,
calibration, and training to name a few. Our quality system,
together with the elements of ISO 9001, provides a framework
fully integrated into our business process that makes quality a
consistent part of our business conduct.
• Operations are housed in a
42,000 sq ft. modern facility.
• 20 injection molding

29 to 440 TON have 0.7 oz.
