Innovation, Quality and Continuous Advancement in Plastic Injection Molding

Micro-Molding vs. Conventional Molding: The Revolution of the Infinitely Small

Imagine a world where precision is measured in microns and every detail matters. That’s exactly where micro-molding takes center stage.

Unlike its bigger counterpart, conventional injection molding, this advanced technology goes far beyond producing standard plastic parts. It pushes the boundaries of what’s possible by creating microscopic components with astonishing precision—often smaller than a grain of rice.

See the difference for yourself.

Plastiques Gagnon Acquires Queplast Injection

Plastiques Gagnon of St-Jean-Port-Joli acquired Queplast Injection in March 2021. Founded through a partnership with Plastiques Gagnon in 1997, the company is located in St-Romuald and specializes in the manufacturing of injection-molded plastic parts. The integration of Queplast Injection into the Plastiques Gagnon family was a natural step, as both companies share the same values and the same high standards of quality and service.

This acquisition propels Plastiques Gagnon into the top ranks of Quebec’s small and medium-tonnage injection molding manufacturers, with 56 presses ranging from 20 to 720 tons. The company can now rely on an experienced team of more than 230 employees. This expansion provides access to new markets, including electronics and the medical sector. Quéplast Injection also features an ISO 7 clean room and specializes in the production of small components using micro-injection processes, achieving dimensional tolerances of ±9 microns.
