What We Do
Jones Plastic & Engineering combines product development, tooling, injection molding, finishing, and assembly into a single manufacturing system. Our engineering team uses PTC Creo for 3D solid modeling, Moldex3D for mold filling analysis, and finite element analysis (FEA) to validate designs before tooling begins — reducing risk, shortening lead times, and lowering capital tooling costs.
Once designs are validated through in-house 3D printing or soft-steel prototype tooling, our tooling engineers manage mold design and construction through a global network of mold shops in the U.S., Canada, and Asia — taking full responsibility from design through PPAP confirmation. We work with customers at their needs including transfer molds, customer sourced tooling and Jones sourced tooling.
Production runs across our North American facilities serving automotive, appliance, and powersports markets to name a few. Each location supports short-run/high-changeover and high-volume programs, from small-machine non-appearance parts to large-machine Class-A cosmetic components and assemblies.
After molding, parts are decorated, welded, tested, and integrated into assemblies with electronics, metals, and glass — then packed for end-use delivery. Warehousing and logistics support ensure on-time delivery in exact quantities.

Product Design
Our product development team combines industrial design, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing expertise to move your concept from sketch to production-ready CAD in PTC Creo — with simulation and rendering support throughout.
Product Development
Prototyping Services
When designs need physical validation, our prototyping lab produces 3D-printed functional parts, full-color CMF models, and short-run injection molded samples from 3D-printed mold inserts — bridging the gap between digital model and production part.

Tooling
With 65 years of tooling experience, we run two-plate and three-plate molds, stack molds, family tools, and MUD base molds. Stack molds have become a key method for increasing cavitation without increasing press size — reducing per-part cost for high-volume programs.

Assembly and Testing
Most of what we produce goes well beyond molding. We robotically assemble components, robotically dispense adhesive, and use digital torque guns — then verify every assembly through pressure decay leak testing, destructive testing, and in-process dimensional checks.

Value Added
Our manufacturing extends beyond molding into a broad range of value-added services that help consolidate your supply chain — reducing handling, labor, packaging, and shipping costs while accelerating time to market.

Decoration
Part decoration directly impacts how a product is perceived. Our in-house capabilities include in-mold labeling, hot stamping, pad printing, heat transfer labeling, and laser etching — adding functional markings and brand presentation without secondary handling.

Painting and Hydrographics
Our 90,000 sq. ft. Juarez Paint and Hydrographics facility features a 25,000 sq. ft. clean-room paint line with FANUC robots, RFID-controlled processing, and the world’s largest 1.3-meter hydrographic dip tank. An on-site R&D lab supports prototyping of spray, dip, and wash processes before full-scale production.
