LTP has been manufacturing plastic electronic enclosures since 1985, using a reliable and not very widespread technology invented by the company’s founder: „tôlerie plastique“ (plastic sheet metal working).
This is a moldless process requiring no special tooling, enabling us to manufacture customized plastic casings in small and medium-sized runs.
Adapted to the needs and constraints of our customers, they are produced in our workshops in Octeville-sur-Mer, near Le Havre, within short lead times.
Fully customizable, our cases, housings and parts are suitable for a wide range of sectors, including industry, beauty and healthcare.
They can be used in laboratories, for example, to dress and protect medical equipment.
An atypical process for small and medium production runs
Plastic sheet metal offers many advantages for both the manufacturer and its customers.
These include:
- Possibility of a 100% made-to-measure product, with the technical specifications and finishes requested, and no size constraints
- No need to invest in molds that would be uneconomical for small and medium production runs. Design and aesthetics ;
- Rapid industrialization process (development phase, design, prototype and first series production)
- Flexibility to change design, size or customization, quickly and at no extra cost.
Application example for a laboratory medical device
LTP has been mastering the art of plastic sheet-metal working for almost 40 years, producing around 200,000 housings and enclosures a year.
For example, a laboratory needed a custom hood-shaped casing that could be modified between production runs. As the quantity to be produced was small – around 20 parts a year for several years – plastic sheet metal was the only cost-effective process. Investing in a mold would have been far too costly for this customer. As a result, we were able to offer a solution in line with the customer’s requirements and environment ( laboratory use): a customized cover with copper shielding and painting with a highly resistant varnish.
What’s more, every stage in the production of a plastic electronic enclosure is carried out by our own team, in our own workshops. This means we can provide our customers with complete support, and keep manufacturing times and costs under control.
