As an injection molding contractor with expertise in lighting components, Kruunutekniikka knew it could provide improved manufacturability and performance in LED lighting by producing non-metal heat sinks at scale. Improved manufacturing: The company realized substantial savings during high-volume production thanks to a switch from die casting to injection molding. Achieved new sustainability goals: Production scrap from the injection molding process can be fully recycled as part of an in-line process, which helped the company meet its sustainability goals.
