Plastics
Precision, performance, and partnership across the full spectrum of plastics manufacturing
Few materials have shaped modern manufacturing like plastics — versatile, scalable, and low cost. We should know. At Jabil we have worked with plastics for over five decades, transforming them into product solutions across industries, from consumer devices to transportation, healthcare, and packaging.
No matter the complexity or scale, Jabil’s vertically integrated plastics manufacturing capabilities accelerate time to market, ensure consistency, and reduce total cost for our customers. From prototype to production, Jabil is your one-stop plastics partner.

We operate more than 1,000 injection molding machines around the globe with capabilities in standard plastic materials, engineering plastics, and high temperature plastics, providing our customers with one of the industry’s most comprehensive molding solutions.
Jabil’s global tooling footprint enables highly customized solutions for each individual project, based upon specialty, time, cost, and complexity. Our in-house tooling and machining capabilities ensure optimal control for applications requiring tight tolerances and high-quality finishes.
Liquid Silicon Rubber Molding
Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) injection molding is increasingly utilized for the manufacture of automotive components, medical devices, consumer goods, and industrial parts. Jabil’s capabilities with LSR supports device functionality for low compression set seals and gaskets, autoclave sterilization, and high temperature applications. Options include single-shot and two-shot combinations with rigid substrates.
Assembly & Finishing
Jabil’s assembly and finishing services provide the final touches necessary to deliver highest quality products to our customers. Our assembly processes range from manual to semi-automatic and fully automated. Advanced techniques, like plastics CNC machining, as well as laser cutting, welding, and etching ensure superior finishes that meet industry standards while achieving the desired aesthetic and functional outcomes for your products. Additional finishing services include:

Inspection & Test Development
Jabil offers a complete range of quality control steps like automated X-ray inspection (AXI) in tandem with automated optical inspection (AOI) to reveal defects that are not visible to the naked eye or with optical cameras. These high-performance, cost-competitive test solutions ensure plastic manufacturing defects are captured proactively, saving you time, money, and ultimately, ensuring success for your products.
In addition to AOI and AXI, Jabil plastics testing solutions include:
-
Leak, flow, and force testing
-
CMM inspection capability
-
OGP/vision system inspection capability
-
Product functional testing
-
CT scanning (on site) capability
-
Mold preventative maintenance
