Building on a Strong Foundation
June 3, 2020 update on our construction progress: The pad, underground utilities and foundation have been completed. This is a massive slab of concrete. Steel to be delivered and erection to begin the week of June 8. Our vision is to build an advanced manufacturing plant where people can leverage their God-given gifts and talents to grow and prosper in their careers. We have patiently waited 2 years for developer permits to put Texas Injection Molding at the intersection of I-45 and Sam Houston Tollway and close to the emerging Houston Spaceport. We have the courage and resolve to stay the course during a difficult time in the world and American history.

Starting with 10 molding machines and 22 employees, Texas Injection Molding has assembled a tremendous leadership and engineering team, added a full-service tool and die shop, certified operations to ISO 9001-2015, implemented industry leading ERP software for managing real time production information, and invested more than $3 million in plastic processing machinery. “This investment in modern molding technology and automation has put our team members and company in a position to advance the success of our customers businesses with competitive and high-quality injection molded components.” Scott Kelley, President of Texas Injection Molding.
