MAMCOPrecision Moldings
Incorporated in 1964, MAMCO (Mold-A-Matic Corporation) has grown to becomean industry leader in the development, design, and manufacturing of precisioncustom molded components and assemblies.
As a producer of engineered molded parts and assemblies, MAMCO utilizes all gradesof thermoplastics throughout their manufacturing process. MAMCO’s trained, motivatedand dedicated employees are working three shifts, five days per week, within a 30,000square foot facility with 32 molding presses ranging in size from 15 to 210 tons.
MAMCO’s first customers were in the potentiometer industry which required miniature,close tolerance, molded components. Today, MAMCO supplies the automotive, medical,consumer product, telecommunication, electronics, military and semi-conductorindustries. With qualified engineering, quality and production professionals, MAMCOis able to embrace the concept of “Managing Total Quality” (MTQ) throughconcurrent engineering, continuous quality improvements and the guidance of our established ISO 9001 and QS 9000 standards.

What is Plastic?What is Plastic?Definition of Plastics (Society of Plastic Engineers): Definition of Plastics (Society of Plastic Engineers): “Any one of a large varied group of materialsConsisting wholly or in part of combinations of carbon with oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and otherOrganic and inorganic elements which, while solid in the finished state, at some stage in its manufactureIs made liquid, and thus capable of being formed into various shapes, most usually through theApplication, either singly or together, of heat and pressure.”
In more technical terms, plastics have the following:In more technical terms, plastics have the following:
Synthetic Material: That is, a material that is produced by man in the laboratory and not generally found in nature; Nature has provided the ingredients, but it took man to combine the certain natural elements in order to synthesize plastics.
Organic Compounds: Organic compounds are those that contain carbon; they are the compounds that have carbon to carbon linkage of atoms in there structure.
Processability: The plastic material must be able to flow at some stage before it becomes a finished product; the material must be capable of being formed, shaped or molded.
Polymerization: A plastic material is a polymerized substance. Polymerization is the combining of two high molecular weight organic compounds under heat or pressure or both, to form a larger molecule having different characteristics than the original molecules.
