Injection moulding
Thirty years in injection moulding, from the design and the mould to reliable production.
efce's particular expertise. Not learned from software: from designing, tooling and producing technical parts every day, for demanding customers, for three decades.
The whole chain
Part, mould, material and process are one problem.
Most injection moulding problems are born at one link and appear at another. We work on every link, so the decisions at each one are taken with the next in mind.

A second pair of eyes
What an expert sees that the toolmaker does not.
A toolmaker is paid to build a mould that fills and passes sampling. The moulder has to live with it for years: every shift, every material batch, every maintenance. Someone who has been on both sides looks at the same design and asks different questions.
- Will this wall thickness give sink marks on the visible face?
- Where will the weld line fall, and is it on a loaded area?
- Can the cooling keep this part flat at the quoted cycle?
- Are the drawn tolerances achievable with this material and this mould?
- Is the steel right for the volume, and can the mould be maintained?
- Will the process window hold on the next shift, with the next batch?
Beyond standard moulding
Technologies we introduced, produced with, and know from the inside.
BMC
Bulk Moulding Compound
A thermoset moulding process that bridges injection moulding and composites: heat resistance, dimensional stability and electrical insulation. Introduced to Greece by efce's founder; the first BMC injection mould in Greece was designed in 2011.
GAI
Gas-assisted injection
Gas hollows out thick sections from the inside: no warpage or sink marks, less material, a shorter cycle and smaller machines. Handles, frames and thick-walled parts.
2K
Two-component moulding
Hard-soft combinations, seals moulded onto the part and two-colour parts, including overmoulding with a robot linking two machines.
RTM
Composites by RTM
Resin transfer moulding for large, strong and light structures, such as the panels of the patented transportable hangar.
The hangarAlso Engineering thermoplastics, flame-retardant and glass-reinforced grades · PEEK, PEI, PPS, PPSU, PVDF · Ultrasonic welding, inserts and post-moulding operations · Aluminium and printed tools for small series
Thirty years
From the maintenance department to the head of the company.
From 1991 to 2018 inside Technika Plastika SA, later DASYC SA: a custom manufacturer of technical parts in engineering thermoplastics and BMC, with its own mould design and construction, supplying electrical, electronics, automotive, defence and aerospace customers.
Experience1991
Production engineer in injection moulding.
1996
Technical director: moulds, materials, production.
2000
CEO and CTO of the company, until 2018.
2011
The first BMC injection mould in Greece.
