In addition to a high flexibility in terms of time and space, sustainability in particular is a core issue of modern individual transport. Innovation for future mobility includes devices being individual, green and smart. The vehicles of tomorrow will be connected, autonomous, shared, and battery-powered or have other alternative power trains.
One of the key success factors for these new technologies will be the greater use of functional plastics.
Injection molding and the advantageous property profile of high-performance plastics make many developments and innovations in the electrification of mobility solutions possible. We are ready for user-specific innovations and solutions to create future perspectives for mobility and transport together with you.
Maintaining the highest quality is an absolute priority in all areas of our company. All locations are certified according to ISO 9001. Our site in Shanghai, China meets the requirements of the automotive industry according to IATF 16949.
Plastic components will continue to increase in e-mobility. This is necessary because the weight of the cars must be reduced along with friction in the drive train in order to increase efficiency and, above all, extend the range. The e-car is also very quiet compared to internal combustion vehicles so that interior noises previously unnoticed become more apparent. Here, too, plastic parts can provide a remedy. We translate the increasing demands for tribologically optimised solutions such as sliding, friction, lightweight construction, insulation, temperature or even material resistance into optimal injection molding solutions.
In addition to the layout and design of the products, the plastic itself is a key success factor. We develop materials in-house with the best properties for your applications. With numerous additive variations, material combinations and special compounds, we can meet even the highest material requirements of our customers. Our products are used in electric vehicles such as cars, trucks, scooters, e-bikes and other modes of transportation.

Smart plastic solutions with integrated sensor technology are playing an increasingly important role, not the least of which can be seen in emerging trends such as connected mobility or autonomous driving. The applications for semiconductor and sensor technology are multiplying. With injection-molded microsystems, Ensinger offers a completely new approach. This technology allows us to replace expensive silicon semiconductors with electrically active thermoplastic solutions. The innovative manufacturing process significantly reduces the number of process steps necessary. We combine many years of injection molding experience, an in-depth understanding of the individual components, and innovative manufacturing methods; all while maintaining an eye for quality at the highest level.
In this process, conductive tracks can be integrated directly into housing structures, thus reducing the number of components.
With our wide range of high-temperature plastics, we offer a compelling alternative to metal for many applications. For example, we replace energy intensive metal products with lightweight, high-strength plastic components that increases the efficiency and sustainability of the component application. Lightweight plastic solutions also help to increase the electric range of e-vehicles. Lightweight and highest-strength solutions can also be achieved by over-molding our proprietary thermoplastics composites.
Injection molded from TECATRON GF40 black.
We are able to develop application specific molded parts that improve tribology and provide a combination of low friction and high wear resistance while optimising energy and power efficiency in driveline and chassis applications such as seals, gears, bearings, bushings.
Solid lubricants can also be used to optimise and extend emergency running properties. By using high-performance plastics, the wall thicknesses of the products can also be reduced thanks to better material properties. By replacing traditional metal products, such as gears, with high-performance plastics, we can improve running conditions, noise and vibration in most applications.
