Description

The Makuta micro molding mission is, "Good Parts. On-time. Profitably." The Makuta micro molding overall goal is, "To Make Our Lives Better." Our partners realize the benefits of working with Makuta and our experienced team. That's what sets us apart from typical micro molders - our talented group of people. Our culture is focused on those people, how they work within our team and ultimately how we provide extraordinary, world-class service.

Makuta and the Sansyu Group of micro molders established a niche that is separate from injection molding. We ONLY supply parts with geometric features measured in microns. We are micro molders . The evolution of micro molding is being driven by Makuta's efforts to meet the constant-changing needs of our customers. A little more than 10 years ago, Makuta was able to process parts with a hole diameter of 80 µm and that was considered small. Today, on a regular basis, Makuta produces parts with a hole diameter of 20 µm and we continue to see the process changing per our customers requirements.

Our people set us apart from our competitors in the micro molding industry. The "Makutians" take an active role in all aspects of the operation of the company and, likewise, take an active role in the community of Shelbyville, Indiana and the surrounding area. There is constant initiative taken to improve the operation of the company and also the lives of the people in our company and community. Makuta Technics is an associate member of the Indiana Medical Device Manufacturers Council and a member of the Manufacturers Association for Plastics Processors (MAPP).

Oftentimes, when a part with geometric features and tolerances in microns is needed, the ability to produce a consistent feature , from one part to the next, is usually thought to be a characteristic of machining. However, Makuta Technics' ability to supply micro molds that hold tolerances of ± 5 µm (microns), part to part, coupled with our Sumitomo micro injection molding machines, enables our customers to reduce the price of their part when compared to machining that same part. Also, we are able to provide our customers millions of parts much more rapidly than a machining operation.

Makuta develops custom automation for use in various stages of our micro molding process. Makuta offers high speed automated vision systems for in-process inspection of the components we manufacture for our customers, ultimately improving throughput, consistency and yield.
