Insights from the plastics industry

With the Opido Reinforcement System (ORS), we reinforce thermoplastic with polyurethane – producing components that are light, rigid and impact-resistant at the same time.

By combining vacuum with compressed air, we can press the thermoplastic more tightly against the tool – delivering sharp details, uniform wall thickness and cost-effective production in medium and large series.

Injection molding is one of the most widely used production methods for plastic products in today's industry. The method is known for its efficiency, precision and ability to mass-produce complex parts with minimal material waste.

The Plexx Group is a leading manufacturer of thermoplastic Euro pallets and accessories, offering a range of advantages compared to traditional wooden pallets. With high durability, low weight, hygienic properties and increased safety, plastic pallets are a cost-effective and sustainable alternative for modern logistics and transport solutions.

Through our parent company Gibo Plast, Plexx delivers components in various sizes and shapes to the cleantech industry – covers, air intakes, profiles, containers and more, in sizes up to 4.5 × 2.5 meters.

Plexx offers various rotational molding solutions in plastic, with either CNC or manual processing. We are happy to source special machines and automated processes with robots for larger projects.

Engineering plastics, also known as structural plastics, are a group of advanced plastic materials developed to withstand demanding conditions where common plastics and even traditional materials such as metal or wood may fall short.

Vakuumforming har en begrenset påvirkning på miljøet, blant annet fordi materialene som brukes er termoplaster og er 100 % resirkulerbare. Her er seks grunner for at vakuumforming er skånsomt mot miljøet.

PMMA-plater, populært kalt plexiglass eller Perspex, er vår halvfabrikata for videreforedling til ferdige produkter. Et materiale med en rekke egenskaper som mange ikke kjenner til.

Har du noen gang hatt en god produktidé som du gjerne skulle ha gjort til virkelighet, men vært usikker på hvordan du skulle gå frem? Hos Plexx hjelper vi deg gjennom hele løpet – fra konsept til ferdig produkt i stor skala.

Twin Sheet is an advanced variant of vacuum forming that lets us create hollow, double-walled products with high strength and low weight – in a single piece, without glue or joining.

Elastisk, mykt, hardt, UV-resistent, økonomisk og miljøvennlig. Termoplast er ett av de mest anvendelige materialene vi har – og det vi har spesialisert oss på siden 1954.

One of the world's largest train manufacturers is working to streamline production – and Plexx made it through the needle's eye with the right combination of quality, price and technical solution.

På oppdrag fra Make Studio har vi utviklet og produsert salgsdisplay for Jan Thomas Cosmetics til alle landets VITA-butikker. Les hvordan Plexx/Opido løste både kravene til eleganse for Jan Thomas Cosmetics og brukervennlighet for VITA-butikkene.

Vacuum forming has a wide range of applications, but what are the biggest advantages of this production method?

Vacuum forming is an efficient process for producing covers and components for machines – but what is it exactly, and how does it work?

Injection molding is a production method for thermoplastics that is well suited for products with complex geometry and larger production runs.
