Your Trusted Partner for Custom Injection Molding Solutions
Since 1981, Custom Manufacturing has been dedicated to delivering precision manufacturing solutions rooted in quality, reliability, and customer-centric service. Founded by Lloyd McKinney in a small rented facility, our company rapidly expanded to meet growing demand, relocating to our purpose-built facility in 1988 with subsequent expansions to enhance capacity. Our expertise spans the entire product lifecycle, from initial design and engineering to prototyping, tooling, and high-precision injection molding. We specialize in thermoplastic and liquid silicone injection molding, supported by advanced 3D CAD modeling and CNC programming tools. Our secondary operations, including assembly, sonic welding, and pad printing, ensure comprehensive end-to-end manufacturing capabilities. Recognizing the importance of supply chain efficiency, we pioneered flexible fulfillment solutions such as Just-In-Time (JIT) warehousing, safety stock programs, and extended warehousing options to optimize inventory management for clients.Our commitment to innovation was highlighted through our collaboration with a medical device manufacturer to create a custom case for Jerry Lewis, underscoring our ability to tackle unique challenges. Accredited by industry partners like Gel-Pak, which honored us with its Supplier Excellence Award, we maintain rigorous quality standards while prioritizing direct communication with our engineering team to resolve issues swiftly. With decades of experience and a focus on continuous improvement, we remain a trusted partner for businesses seeking precision, transparency, and long-term reliability in custom manufacturing.

Services
Injection Molding
We offer thermoplastic and liquid silicone injection molding with presses ranging from 28 to 550 tons. Our capabilities include insert molding, structural foam molding, and vertical presses for precision components. Clients benefit from scalable production for both high-volume and custom low-volume runs.
Design Engineering
Our engineering team provides 3D CAD modeling, material selection, and design-for-manufacturability analysis. Using SolidWorks and Mastercam, we ensure optimal part design and CNC programming, reducing production delays and enhancing product performance.
Secondary Operations
We deliver post-molding services such as assembly, sonic welding, pad printing, heat staking, and CNC machining. These operations streamline production by consolidating finishing steps, ensuring parts meet exact specifications before delivery.
Flexible Fulfillment
Our JIT warehousing, safety stock programs, and extended storage options reduce logistics costs. Clients receive scheduled shipments or ad-hoc deliveries while maintaining inventory control through automated alerts and EOQ strategies.
Tooling Prototyping
We provide rapid prototyping with SLA/SLS and on-site 3D printing. Tooling options range from multi-cavity molds for mass production to single-cavity prototypes, balancing speed and cost-effectiveness for diverse project needs.
