Across two facilities, EPTAM is equipped with 29 injection molding machines. Production molding machines are 2 years old on average.
EPTAM Massachusetts facility
EPTAM’s MA facility is a completely controlled environment, with a recently expanded ISO Class 8 cleanroom. Capabilities include a wide range of press tonnage—28-550 ton with plans to expand—and are committed to continuous reinvestment in operations, with $2 million recently invested in upgrading our cleanroom and purchasing new machines.
EPTAM New Jersey facility
EPTAM’s New Jersey facility boasts a highly controlled environment with ISO Class 7 and 8 cleanrooms. Our commitment to quality is reflected in our ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications. We utilize state-of-the-art Toyo and Arburg molding machines with a press tonnage range of 5-200 tons, and are continually investing in our operations. Our recent investments have upgraded our cleanroom and added new machines, demonstrating our commitment to providing exceptional service.
EPTAM is committed to meeting customer scalability requirements. When any single piece of equipment reaches 70% capacity, an additional machine is ordered.
EPTAM Silicone is equipped with LSR injection molding machines ranging from 14-120 ton and compression presses ranging from 10-100 tons. Additionally, we have thermoplastic injection machines ranging from 50-130+ tons with allocated warehouse space for additional equipment and capacity. Albright offers prototyping and production tooling with the ability to build a wide range of tooling in house. This is supported by Brother and Topper CNC machines.
