Why Choose Zilken for Molding Technology?

Manufacturing using virtually any process

Whether turned, milled, laser-cut, bent, cast, or injection-molded: Through our manufacturing network, we produce custom parts using all standard processes—from CNC-turned and milled parts to sheet metal blanks and bent parts, as well as die-casting, investment casting, sintered parts, and metal injection molding (MIM). This means we are not tied to a single manufacturer, but rather select the process that best suits the geometry, quantity, and material.

From standard steel to special alloys

We source formed parts made of quenched and tempered steel, free-cutting steel, heat-resistant 25CrMo4, A2/A4 stainless steel, and highly corrosion-resistant 1.4529, as well as aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and engineering plastics such as polyamide, POM, or PVC. Rubber and elastomer molded parts, as well as special materials such as 1.4462 duplex, 1.4541, or high-alloy nickel alloys, are also available through our procurement network—a total of more than 28 materials in our current product range.

Compliant Procurement

We source materials in accordance with applicable material, dimensional, and testing standards—ranging from material standards such as EN 10269, EN 10025, and EN 10088, to pressure vessel regulations such as DIN 2510 and the AD 2000 guidelines, all the way to general tolerances per ISO 2768 and fits per ISO 286 for parts manufactured to drawings. Determining the current version of a standard is not a research task for us, but rather part of our daily routine.

Certification and Quality Documentation

About a quarter of our molded parts are supplied with a Type 3.1 inspection certificate in accordance with EN 10204—including batch-specific documentation of material properties. For example: For a power plant project, we procure expansion bolts made of heat-resistant 25CrMo4 in accordance with EN 10269, covered by AD-2000 data sheets W7 and W2, with each batch documented in a traceable manner. Where required, we also provide 3.2 certificates with external countersignature or initial sample test reports (EMPB/PPAP) for series production approval.

Range of applications

Zilken’s forming technology covers a wide range of applications: cut-to-size parts, sheet metal formed parts, and custom-designed components for mechanical and plant engineering; protective caps and functional elements for sensitive assemblies; expansion bolts and threaded bolts for flange and pressure vessel connections; as well as sleeves, spacers, profiles, and wire mesh. From cryogenic applications at -196 °C to heat-resistant applications at +570 °C—available on request as individual pieces with material certification or in bulk quantities.

Packaging & Sets

Customers who purchase parts based on a bill of materials can also receive them as pre-assembled sets. We put together assembly-specific kits and component sets—pre-sorted, labeled, and ready for installation. This reduces the time and effort required for part separation during production and keeps inventory levels low.
