The Maillard Industrie Group has enlarged its plastics offer by concentrating on polyurethane elastomer processing technology because polyurethane plastics are omnipresent in industry.

The Maillard Industrie Group gained its expertise with small and medium production runs of high-precision polyurethane technical parts for the automobile industry.

Working in this demanding field pushed the Maillard Industrie Group to expand its polyurethane productions to many other fields of application.

The Maillard Industrie Group is involved from product definition to product manufacturing. By managing the designing, modelling, prototyping, first-off tooling and mass production phases in the production of polyurethane parts, GMI masters the know-how and expertise needed to offer appropriate technical design and process engineering solutions.

The Maillard Industrie Group manages low-pressure and projection casting processes for applications simultaneously requiring:

high resistance to breakage, notches and punching,

resistance to ageing,

exceptional resistance to abrasion and tearing,

elasticity up to 400% to 600% before breakage,

a range of hardnesses from 45 shore to 90 shore D.

High-Level Expertise

formulating and dosing at high or low pressure and different temperatures,

preparing the support material,

controlling tolerances,

insert over-moulding,

mass colouratione,

folding, moulding, shearing, machining, stamping, punching, spot-facing, etc. polyurethane adhesion to all surfaces (ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastic, wood, glass, etc.).

In the field of expanded polyurethane, the Maillard Industrie Group offers parts in flexible, rigid and semi-rigid expanded foam and integrated skin foam.

These areas of expertise combine to meet the constraints of the strictest specifications.

The polyurethane workshop does not have any limitations in terms of the quantity or size of the parts.

The Maillard Industrie Group designs and produces all its moulds for perfect management of all production parameters.

Various applications:

protecting contact or friction zones,

absorbing vibrations or shocks,

avoiding part wear during handling and shipping operations,

increasing the lifespan of products and equipment,

filling hollow parts or cavities for insulating and waterproofing.
