Plastics for construction
Plastic parts for the construction sector at AKF Plastics.
For many years AKF Plastics has been producing plastic-based products for the construction sector using injection moulding. Plastic products are essential for the execution of successful construction projects. Consider, for example, the plastic that is used in the tools and the machines that are needed in construction.
Injection moulding; a smart choice
In theory, all kinds of different production techniques are possible to create building products. However, injection moulding is the best and most popular choice when it comes to producing plastic parts, fittings and tools. Injection moulding offers clear advantages over other production techniques with regards to costs, production numbers and application possibilities.

What AKF Plastics Nederland stands for:
Recycled plastic
AKF Plastics recognises the importance of protecting the environment and contributes to a circular economy.
For example, we use recycled plastics while our certification guarantees high quality products.
Small runs
AKF Plastics is your optimum partner for the injection moulding of small series of plastic products.
Injection moulding is also ideal for the production of complex products consisting of several components or even several materials!
Large products
AKF Plastics has everything in-house to take care of the complete injection moulding production of large products.
For example, we have injection moulding machines that can deliver up to 1600 tons of closing force and a shot weight up to 10,900 grams.
Cost-effective Injection Moulding for Construction
Considerable savings can be made on costs when opting for plastic production. This is because:
- The production of large series (such as 50,000 pieces) is common in plastic production. This has the advantage that:
- Every penny saved in production costs results in a considerable reduction in the total end cost.
- A lot of valuable time can be gained with the production time per product.
- Injection moulding as a technique is very cost-effective for the production of large quantities. Moulds can be optimized to a high degree to ensure that the production process runs very efficiently while maintaining high-quality.
Consistent & reliable
The use of injection moulding for the production of plastic building products has the advantage that every product within a series deviates minimally from the prototype.
The high-quality moulds and precise plastic composition, ensure a very accurate and reliable consistency within the production.
- The medical sector also prefers injection moulding over other production techniques where the reliability of an individual product is of vital importance.

Plastic parts assembly, fastening & screens
Strong plastic parts for the assembly or fastening of various products in house construction.
Plastic products for construction
Injection moulding is a technique that lends itself to a wide variety of applications in the construction sector. This technique is not limited to just one type of plastic production, as is the case with blow moulding for example.
Injection moulding is different in that it is very suitable and cost-effective for all kinds of different products and requests. Injection moulding is not only the best solution for the production of large series of simple plastic products, but thanks to the continuous development of knowledge and technology, injection moulding is also ideal for the production of complex products consisting of several components and even several materials!
Thanks to our production location and the use of the highest quality injection moulds, we are able to set up an efficient, cost-effective and successful production process for every solution and requirement in the construction sector.
Opt for quality and reliability with AKF Plastics
In addition to the major advantages that injection moulding offers over other production techniques, there are other specific and essential benefits that AKF Plastics offers as a partner for construction projects.
1. The use of metal moulds
Metal moulds for plastic production are superior. This is because hardened steel moulds are guaranteed to offer optimum results with a production of up to one million quantities. Aluminum moulds can only offer optimum results with a production of up to 20,000 pieces. AKF Plastics always uses steel moulds for production in the construction sector.
2. Cost-effective production in the Netherlands
Simple products that require little or no manual assembly are the most cost-effective to produce in the Netherlands. The production site of AKF Plastics is located in Naarden.
Short lead times and low costs
AKF Plastics is pleased to offer you a comprehensive solution for all applications in the production and design of parts for the aerospace industry. Since we can provide you with design, mould design, production and logistics, we are able to work quickly and efficiently for a competitive price. With us you can therefore rely on cost effective solutions with relatively short lead times. If you need a complete solution, then choose AKF Plastics!
