Alhorn stands for the strategic development and precise production of components in 2K and multi-component injection moulding. However, we also manufacture 1K components with high standards of precision and efficiency. Whether 2K injection molding, 3K or just one material: we cover the entire process chain right through to quality-tested series production. We also integrate inserts such as contacts, threads, and other ultra-fine inserts in perfect precision injection molding.
Working together as equals is particularly important to us. Discussions with our customers often result in ideas that go far beyond the initial approach, as we can integrate additional functions, save on raw materials, or increase speed and precision by fully integrating automation and assembly equipment through to the perfect turnkey solution.
The boundaries are open and constantly readjusted during the production process, especially for 2K and multi-component parts or assemblies, in order to achieve the best result. Our precision injection molding remains the focus.
With our expertise, we at Alhorn are the experts for electromechanical assemblies that are used as small, lightweight, and compact components, especially in the automotive industry. For our customers in the electrical and sensor technology sectors, we manufacture – often fully automated – delicate precision parts through efficient reel-to-reel injection molding, where we feed stamping grids directly from a spool into the injection molding tool, overmold them with functional elements, and then rewind them. Depending on requirements, we also combine upstream and downstream separation and bending tools as well as various test procedures, fully automatically with systems from our own special-purpose machine engineering department. We also use the insert method for contact elements, where the insert parts are usually automatically fed to the tool.
Both processes have one thing in common:
For applications in vehicle electronics or electrical engineering, we primarily use high-performance plastics that guarantee a long service life even in extreme environments in terms of mechanical, chemical, or thermal stress.
In our series production, highly sophisticated molds using the transfer process, turning technology, and indexing processes with up to 128 cavities are part of our everyday work. However, we not only take care of the design and procurement of new injection molding tools, but we are also happy to take on existing tools and projects into our production. A detailed tool assessment and possible repair by our specialised and well-equipped maintenance department are firmly anchored in this process. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
As member of the OKE Group, we have a broad global presence with 11 locations and 17 individual companies. The perfect networking of our plants offers us and our customers the opportunity to profitably utilize our in-depth experience and consolidated expertise in the implementation of joint projects in Germany and worldwide. Our focus at Alhorn is on precision injection molding for the national and international market.
Our laboratory specializes in damage analysis, process optimisation, incoming goods inspection, and the quality control of finished components during production. Our analysis techniques include, for example:
We are precise and deliver perfect components with tolerances of up to +/- 0.01 mm.
Your international partner with 11 locations in the OKE Group
Certified according IATF 16949, ISO 50001, and ISO 9001
Our precision plastic products are mainly used in the electronics and powertrain sectors. Our international customers in these industries appreciate our high level of precision and our fully or partially automated production processes.
Optimal throughput times, efficient processes, flexible component assembly, and state-of-the-art machinery ensure first-class products and the highest quality.
The electronics industry places very special demands on plastic components. The focus is on electrical and mechanical properties such as insulation or strength behavior, flexibility or stiffness. But optical properties must not be disregarded either.
We always keep all individual requirements in mind and ensure efficient processes and high-precision plastic and hybrid components with our know-how and state-of-the-art machinery.
In particular, our product portfolio includes plugs and connectors.
As a competent technology partner and thanks to our many years of experience in the automotive industry, we produce high-precision and technically sophisticated injection molded parts in the white goods sector.
We are familiar with high temperatures and chemical and mechanical stresses, so we are also able to provide advice on materials, design, and cost optimisation.
As part of an international group of companies, we offer ideal conditions to efficiently serve the household appliances market. With uniform processes, we guarantee high quality, flexibility and short delivery times worldwide.
We are used to meeting the highest demands on products and processes every day. That is why we carry out sophisticated chemical analyses in our plastics laboratory and therefore monitor the entire process from incoming goods inspection to quality control on the finished component during production.
We are certified according to IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 50001:2018.
As part of the OKE Group, Alhorn is a medium-sized family business. For our employees, this means flat structures and quick decisions, coupled with the opportunities of a globally positioned company.
But the best thing about us is our many great colleagues. We spend a lot of time at the workplace and attach a great deal of importance to positive interaction, a motivating working atmosphere, and making sure everyone is appreciated. In addition, OKE Plus offers many extra benefits for all employees.
