Automotive Mold

Company Introduction

Jinlong Electric was established in 1985, with 68,000 m² production facility located in Yuyao, Zhejiang — known as "the hometown of China's mold industry." Our dedicated tool room spans 5,000 m² within the facility, equipped with over 20 sets of high-performance CNC machining centers, Charmilles EDM machines, and precision wire-cut equipment.

We operate a vertically integrated manufacturing operation with over 150 injection molding machines (45T–1,600T), including 2 cleanroom-configured production areas, and 8 dedicated product assembly lines. Our fixed assets exceed USD 20 million, supporting an annual mold production capacity of 1,000 molds per year.

Featured Case Studies

Automotive Door Interior Trim Mold

Jinlong manufactured a high-precision door panel interior trim mold for a major automotive interior supplier. The mold featured complex undercut geometries, Class-A surface requirements, and needed to meet strict dimensional tolerances for proper panel fitment.

Challenges addressed: Multi-cavity design optimized for production efficiency while maintaining cavity-to-cavity uniformity. Moldflow analysis optimized the cooling system, reducing cycle time by 15%.

Outcome: T1 samples passed dimensional inspection on first trial. Mold entered mass production within the agreed timeline, supporting 30,000+ parts per month.

2K Two-Shot Injection Mold for Automotive Functional Component

A European automotive components manufacturer needed a dual-material (2K) injection mold for a soft-touch automotive interior part — rigid ABS substrate with TPE overmold for grip surfaces.

Challenges addressed: Precise alignment between first-shot and second-shot materials, strict flash control at the material interface. Jinlong's team used sequential valve gate control and precision mold heating to achieve a perfect bond without flash.

Outcome: First-shot samples showed excellent material adhesion and surface quality. Mold was approved after one engineering modification and has been in stable mass production for over two years.
