Automotive · Plastics · Injection Molding

Produce injection-molded parts for less.
Launch series production safely.

I relocate your injection molding projects to vetted suppliers in Slovakia – and step in as interim manager when launch, supply chain or series production start to wobble. 20+ years at OEM and Tier-1 level, based in Slovakia.

20+years in automotive & manufacturing
150+series projects relocated
8 mparts per year managed
4 → 30+employees in plant build-up

Two pillars, one point of contact

One contact for engineering, project and supplier – from the first cost analysis to stable series production.

Pillar 1

Relocation & Sourcing Slovakia

Cost reduction by relocating injection-molded parts to Slovakia – backed by a regional network of experienced suppliers.

  • Cost and feasibility analysis for your parts
  • Selection, audit and negotiation of suitable suppliers
  • Tool transfer or tool procurement (EU, Turkey, China)
  • Sampling to PPAP/VDA, run@rate, series approval
  • Technical project management until stable delivery
Pillar 2

Interim Management & Task Force

Experienced leadership for a defined period – when things are on fire or a project needs someone to push it through on site.

  • Securing series launches and customer supply
  • Stabilizing and qualifying suppliers up to OEM audit
  • Plant and site build-up, ramp-up of new molding machines
  • Restructuring: capacity, OEE, cost, processes
  • Escalation management with OEMs and executive management

Why Slovakia?

Cost

Significantly lower manufacturing and labor costs than in DACH – with EU law, the euro and short distances.

Competence

One of Europe's densest automotive supplier landscapes, with experienced molders.

Proximity

Truck distance to southern Germany and Austria, same time zone, no customs.

How a relocation works

Analysis

Capture parts, tools, volumes and target prices; assess feasibility and savings potential.

Supplier selection

Request quotes from suitable partners in my network, audit them and make offers comparable.

Transfer

Tool transfer or new tooling, sampling and approval – with safety stock to protect your supply.

Series

Support the launch, monitor KPIs, secure quality and delivery performance.
