Insert Moulding (Metal-Plastic Overmoulding)

At Šumer d.o.o., insert moulding combines metal and plastic in a single step. A metal part is placed in the mould seat, and when the tool closes, plastic fills the cavity around the insert, creating one strong, integrated component. This process, also known as metal-plastic overmoulding, combines the structural strength of metal with the design flexibility of plastic.

Insert moulding is an effective alternative to assembly using force or adhesives. The bond is strong, precise and consistent across both small and large production batches. It is widely used in automotive, electronics and industrial applications where durability and tight tolerances are essential. Our processes are certified to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949.

We can produce both large and small batches in metal plastics.

Applications of insert-moulded parts

Insert-moulded parts from Šumer are used in the automotive industry (fasteners for cooling and heating systems, interior parts), in power tools (handles for hand-held electrical appliances, housing parts with reinforcements), in white goods (clutches for small household appliances, support legs, and attachments such as whisks, kneaders, chopper knives and scrapers) and in agriculture (guides for turning systems).
