Tanner: A Tradition of Innovation

We specialize in high-performance injection molds for the fields of medical technology and diagnostics. Worldwide, products are series produced in their millions using Tanner molds—highlighting both our strong market position and the high standard and outstanding durability of everything we develop.

Specialists can do more than all-rounders. We therefore review all orders and projects that lie within our field of activity with great interest and strive to optimally perform them. We follow the guiding principle that the quality of a plastic component ‘lives and dies’ with the mold used to produce it.

As such, it is a matter of course for us to exclusively offer our customers first-rate injection molds of the very highest quality. After all, our customers can only manufacture products economically if we do our work well. Sometimes, expertise alone is not enough. This is when our decades of experience come into play—and make all the difference.

Instantly Visible

Quality

Behind every good injection molded part is a good mold. This is instantly evident: both the injection point and the parting line are practically invisible to the naked eye. The highest precision, knowledge-based experience and innovative mold solutions are all imperative for achieving this. A molded part can never be better than the mold with which it is made. The ability to effortlessly replace the inserts that shape the part and the fastest shot sequences are considered from the outset when designing the mold. After all, a perfect injection molded part can only be achieved if the mold is cost effective.
