About Crestwood

A plastic injection molding factory contains specialized equipment used to produce a variety of molded products based on customer specifications. During the plastic injection molding process, molten materials are injected into a mold cavity. While in the cavity, the molten material cools and hardens, taking on the desired shape. The quality of the products produced by a plastic molding company will depend on several factors, including the equipment used, the quality of the molds, the quality of the materials and the expertise of the people on staff. When choosing a plastic injection company, you need to consider all of these factors.

When it comes to plastic injection molding companies, you have a variety of options to choose from. At Crestwood Industries, we understand that you have options, and we strive to be the best at what we do. Below is an overview of some of the services we offer:
