Second Stage Moulds

We cooperate with worldwide mould makers, providing technical support once their moulds have reached Europe. This is possible due to large injections companies carrying out major moulding projects in Asia and requiring their mould suppliers to have a partner relatively close to the final manufacturing plant in Europe to offer assistance concerning any technical need.



Second stage activities are performed by Frontrunner Lda.;

  • Receiving moulds

    Upon receiving the moulds in Portugal we proceed with the dismantling, cleaning and checking of each component individually (hardness, treatments, measurements...). A complete analysis is performed on the moving parts of the mould, cooling circuits, ejection system, etc. We proceed based on customers' logs or specifications. Once all the checks have been performed, the mould is assembled and any non-conformities are reflected in a detailed report specifying the procedure required to solve them.

  • Try Out

    Tests are performed in relation to the injection machine required by the customer. We have a selection of machines for the try out process or any kind of production stages. If a customer prefers robot tests to be performed, the robot provided by customer is used. If the mould requires texturing, tests are conducted once the mould has been assembled. Once all the tests have been conducted, the parts are packed and prepared according to customer specifications and shipped to his facilities.

  • Textures 

    If the mould requires texturing, it is dismantled in order to send the necessary components for texturing to the customer’s texture supplier. After texturing, the moulds are assembled once again.

  • Shipping parts

    Parts are shipped to customers for validation and final approval.

  • Adjustments

    Adjustments or changes are always required during the 2nd Stage. The changes are performed by Frontrunner Lda.

  • Shipments to final plant

    When the moulds no longer require any modifications, an acceptance report is prepared in order to ship the mould to the customer’s factory. Transportation can be arranged if required.
