Hicks Plastics Company Inc.

United States

Durden is equipped to mold parts ranging from under a gram up to 28oz, in whatever color and thermoplastic material may be required. We run all commodity resins as well as a variety of highly specialized engineering resins such those shown on the MATERIALS sheet. Our machines will handle insert molding, over-molding and gas assist molding. At Durden: we view each customer as a partner. We encourage you to let us become involved during the design phase of your product development. From these early discussions we are able to see how best we may be able to meet your needs. Often, based on our experience, we are able to make suggestions that may improve part quality or reduce part or tooling costs. We will assist you in sourcing a material that provides the required properties, such as ultraviolet or chemical resistance, tensile strength, dimentional stability, etc.

The Tooling Department is an integral part of the overall success enjoyed by Durden Enterprises, Inc. We have our own state-of-the-art mold shop staffed by dedicated craftsmen with over half a century of combined mold-making experience to guarantee accurate, high quality molds. We offer several options. In addition to conventional steel tooling, Durden has a long tradition of building production molds out of aluminum. This has allowed us to build tooling rapidly and at a significant cost savings to our customers. In addition, today's changing global market has created an opportunity for us to offer our customers tools built offshore. Your tool can be built in our shop with close 'hands-on' involvement, or be built overseas with the advantage of reduced cost and, sometimes, shorter lead times. Whichever way you choose to have your tool built, Durden will take full responsibility for the production, quality, care and maintenance of it. We welcome the opportunity to work directly with our customer's design engineers to ensure that the final part design and tool design meet the customer's needs.

Our goal at Durden Enterprises, Inc. is to be more than just an injection molder. We would like to be the solution to your plastics production needs. In addition to molding, we can perform a variety of secondary operations, including machining, assembling and decorating, to make your parts as ready for use as possible. We would also be happy to discuss packaging, warehousing and distributing your finished products.
