Williams, White & Company engineers custom thermoplastic forming hydraulic presses for manufacturers who can’t compromise on precision. We build application-specific systems that produce the dimensional accuracy, material integrity and production repeatability your complex plastic components need. All of this is backed by decades of American manufacturing expertise and comprehensive lifetime support.
Thermoplastic forming shapes thermoplastic materials (PEEK, PEKK, PPS) and other high-performance materials into complex components through controlled heat and pressure.
The preheated material gets pressed into a mold under hydraulic pressure. The result leaves you with parts of exact dimensions and consistent wall thicknesses. This process produces components with the tight tolerances, complex geometries and repeatable quality your high-performance applications require.
Williams, White & Company designs and manufactures custom thermoplastic molding press systems. Each is engineered around the specific part’s geometry, material’s properties and production requirements. We bring together decades of applications engineering experience with precision manufacturing know-how.
Before we build anything, we take time to understand your application and the specific challenges you face. Every heating system gets calibrated to your material specifications. Each hydraulic circuit gets optimized for your cycle times and force requirements. The result is a press that performs exactly how your production needs it to.
We serve manufacturers in industries where there’s no room for component failure, including:
Aerospace: Every aircraft part must meet demanding safety standards. Companies in this sector rely on our presses for lightweight structural components and interior panels.
Automotive: Extreme temperatures put components to the test. Our systems produce trim pieces, instrument panels and under-hood parts engineered to handle the heat.
Medical devices: Dimensional consistency directly affects patient safety in this industry. Manufacturers trust our precision for sterile packaging and diagnostic equipment housings that meet exacting specifications.
Transportation: Our equipment produces impact-resistant panels and seating components for commercial vehicles and rail systems, delivering the long-term durability these applications demand.
At Williams, White & Company, we’ve spent 170 years building American manufacturing expertise, and that experience supports you through the 40-50 years your press will run.
Every thermal plastic molding press we build comes from our 150,000-square-foot facility. That gives us complete quality control and the ability to manufacture some of the largest hydraulic press systems in the industry. Our customers see real results. They enhance efficiency, increase uptime and watch the impact show up in their workflows.
We back every press with lifetime support that includes parts, service and field inspections. When your production depends on performance, we’re there for the long haul.
Every thermoset application has unique material properties and cure requirements. Our engineering team will evaluate your specifications and recommend a press system tailored to your production goals.
