Injection moulding is our business. Based in Auckland, TruDesign has over 50 years of injection moulding experience and is regarded as one of New Zealand's leading custom moulding companies.
Specialists in difficult to mould engineering plastics, we offer professional moulding advice, on-site tool making, CAD design, cost analysis and ISO 9001 quality assurance. Behind every TruDesign marine fitting is our own moulding floor — and we take on custom work for outside clients too.

Moulding Room
TruDesign has 24 injection moulding machines ranging in size from 22 tonnes to 400 tonnes. Combined with our Class A annealing facility, this ensures mould quality and cycle time are maximised for your product.
Each moulding cycle is monitored, recorded and checked against specification. With sub-assembly capabilities we can part-assemble components as required.
Tool Making
TruDesign's on-site tool making shop offers CNC machining, spark eroding and die maintenance.
With moulding performed on-site, different materials can easily be trialled, significantly reducing turnaround to finished product design.
Design Process
TruDesign has a collaborative approach and a commitment to the customer. Our vision is to ensure high quality moulding, better future designs and continual product and process improvement.
Our in-house design facility can design and prototype products before committing to expensive tooling. With 3D printing capability, prototypes can be easily checked for look, fit and size.
