Production ability
At A&P de Colombia, we have under one roof technical solutions for thermoforming plastics, ranging from design and development, mold making, plastic formulation, extrusion, thermoforming, printing, machining, assembly and recovery, which supply our 5 product lines.
Design and Development: From the conception of the idea, the visualization of alternatives, and the design in detail.
Mold making: According to the requirements and runs of each project, different manufacturing alternatives are used, using traditional techniques as well as numerical control equipment, using metals and polymers formulated for the construction of effective, precise and low-cost molds.
Formulation of plastics: According to the requirements of each product, plastics are formulated to meet the expectations of use of each of them. Additives, pigments, flame retardants, etc., are included, which allow the original capabilities of the material to be extended.

Thermoforming: We make parts by heating plastic sheets and subjecting them to copy the shape of a mold.
Printing: We screen print on flat sheets and thermoformed parts, with thermoformable inks of the highest quality of U.V. curing, in polychrome, direct and special colors.
Machining and Assembly: Thermoformed parts are subjected to different machining processes, by die-cutting or machining, and their subsequent assembly, building complex parts.
Recovery: We recover surplus materials from our own production, optimizing our resources.
