Co-creation & product development for plastics

When one plus one equals three

As a supplier, we cannot do anything without our customers’ innovations and projects. But when our customers’ ideas and market knowledge come together with De Beer Plastics’ experience and process expertise, something truly wonderful is created.

You know your market inside out and have developed a fantastic product that fits it perfectly. And we know everything there is to know about materials, moulds and the injection moulding of plastic products. By combining our expertise, we can create new opportunities and achieve success.

Early supplier involvement

80% of a product’s costs are determined by decisions made during the design phase, when fundamental choices are made regarding materials, techniques and design. It is precisely in these crucial stages that the expertise of an experienced injection moulder comes into its own.

De Beer Plastics believes in the principle of ‘customer intimacy’, whereby we work closely with our customers and, in doing so, learn more and more about the context of their market. This fosters a relationship of trust, enabling us to be involved in the innovation process at an early stage. This self-reinforcing partnership is the key to success – for us and for our customers.

Specialism in materials

De Beer Plastics stands out from many other injection moulders thanks to its expertise and experience with speciality plastics. We process relatively few commodity plastics and a great many speciality grades, which means we have already worked with most plastics before. This helps us make the right material choices during the co-creation process.

De Beer Plastics is the leading specialist in the fields of soft, transparent and high-performance plastics. By involving us in projects where these materials are being considered, you will always gain fresh insights. Whether it concerns alternative materials, design optimisations or production possibilities you may not have thought possible at all: here too, 1+1=3

Experience in your market

You are the true expert in your market. However, by focusing on a few key markets, De Beer Plastics has often already gained experience in your market and we have a good understanding of the challenges you face.

We understand the processes involved in developing and approving automotive components. We are familiar with the drinking water regulations for the sanitary industry. We know how optics determine the light emitted by LEDs, we are familiar with the regulations for consumer products, and we know which materials are suitable for medical applications. In other words, we speak your language and understand your market – to a certain extent, of course. And that is what makes a joint development process with De Beer Plastics efficient and successful.
