FrontRunner builds injection moulds for the automotive and electrical-appliance industries — to the tolerances OEMs actually specify, proven on paper before a part ever ships.

We build injection moulds for automotive interior trim, electrical-appliance housings, and the structural parts in between — the ones that have to seat perfectly on the first shot, not the fifth.
Our tool shop handles work from small precision cavities up to 14-tonne tooling, without handing the hard parts to someone else.
Tooling · Automotive & appliance
5-axis milling, portal machining, EDM spark erosion — the whole chain lives on our floor in Alcobaça, so a mould never leaves the building between rough block and finished cavity.
What we can control, we keep in-house. It's slower to build that way. It's faster to trust.
Machining · CNC + EDM
Major injection programmes often get built overseas but run in Europe. We're the local partner who receives the tooling, tests it, and gets it production-ready before it reaches the final plant.
Dismantle. Inspect. Try out. Texture. Adjust. Ship. We handle the parts of second-stage support that actually require being in the room.

Major injection programmes often get built in Asia but run in Europe. We're the local partner that receives, tests, and finishes the mould so it's ready the moment it reaches the final plant.
Dismantle, clean, and check every component — hardness, treatments, measurements — against the customer's spec.
Test on the injection machine the customer requires, robot included, and report any non-conformities in detail.
Dismantle for texturing where required, send to the customer's supplier, then reassemble once complete.
Changes are always needed at this stage. We make them directly, in-house, without round-tripping the mould.
Prepare an acceptance report and ship — or arrange transportation — to the customer's final production line.
Milling parts and manufacturing moulds in response to what the market actually needed.
Added capacity and headcount, and shipped our first tool to the EC market.
Added a further 800 m² of production area to keep pace with demand.
We reply ourselves — no sales layer in between.
