Precision OEM Plastic Components for Next-Generation Appliances
& Auto
As a dedicated OEM injection molding supplier, Ocean Century partners with leading brands to produce the
critical plastic components that define modern appliances. From
intricate internal gears and durable latches to sleek control
panels and vent grilles, we deliver precision, consistency, and
value at high volumes.
With 26 years of specialized experience, we act as an extension of your engineering team, focusing on
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) to optimize part performance and
minimize unit cost from the outset.
The Ocean Century Advantage for OEM Partnerships:
Precision Engineering & DFM Focus: We don’t just quote; we collaborate. Our engineers provide
in-depth DFM reports to refine drafts, wall thickness, gate
locations, and tolerance specs, ensuring your component is designed
for optimal molding and assembly.
High-Volume Excellence: Equipped with 142 modern injection presses (50T-1850T) and automated robotic cells, we guarantee monthly output over 1 million parts with exceptional dimensional stability and repeatability, batch
after batch.
Cost-Effective, Long-Life Tooling: We design and build robust hot runner molds with lifespans of 300,000 to 500,000 shots. This investment in quality tooling translates to lower per-part
costs and reliable long-term supply for your OEM programs.
Material Science Expertise: Beyond processing standard resins like ABS, PC, and PP, we provide
consultative support on material selection to meet specific
requirements for heat resistance, chemical exposure, food contact,
or structural load.
Core Competencies for Appliance Components:
High-Precision Parts: Components with tight tolerances, thin walls, and complex
geometries.
Overmolding & Insert Molding: For combining plastic with metal inserts or multi-material
soft-grip features.
Critical Aesthetic Parts: Control panels, bezels, and trim pieces requiring Class-A surfaces
or specific finishes.
Structural & Functional Parts: Housings, brackets, clips, and connectors that must endure stress
and repeated use.
Full Compliance: All production is ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 system certified, with materials meeting RoHS and REACH directives.
Our OEM Project Workflow:
Design Submission: Share your 3D CAD files (STEP, IGES) and requirements.
Technical Review & Quotation: Our engineering team performs a manufacturability review and
delivers a detailed quote within 12 hours.
Prototyping & Approval: We offer rapid prototyping (3D printing or soft tooling) for
physical validation.
Tooling & Production: In-house mold fabrication followed by scalable, automated
production with integrated quality gates.
Steady Supply: Reliable, just-in-time delivery supported by barcode traceability
and customized packaging.

FAQ:
Q: What information do you need to provide a quote for custom
plastic parts?
A: To quote quickly, please provide: 1) Detailed 3D drawings (STEP,
IGES), 2) Material specification, 3) Color/Finish requirements, 4)
Target annual/monthly quantities.
Q: Do you offer design and engineering support for OEM parts?
A: Yes. We specialize in engineering support. We can work from your
concepts, sketches, or 2D drawings to develop production-ready 3D
models and optimize the design for injection molding.
Q: What is your typical lead time for mold making and production?
A: Mold lead time depends on complexity, typically 25-35 days.
Production can begin promptly after sample approval. Normal
production lead time is 3-4 weeks.
Q: How do you handle quality control for precision components?
A: We implement a full quality lifecycle: First-Article Inspection
(FAI) with CMM reports, in-process checks during production, and a
final AQL inspection before shipment. We support third-party
inspections.
