GHEPI S.r.l. is an Italian engineering and plastic injection molding provider founded in 1972, based in Cavriago in the Reggio Emilia province. Operating as a full system supplier, the company focuses on product industrialization, metal replacement projects using high-performance technopolymers, and sustainable product innovation with recycled and bio-based polymers.
GHEPI works in close co-design partnerships with industrial clients, applying early-stage Design for Manufacturing (DFM), mold feasibility analysis, and mold-flow simulations to eliminate defects and optimize manufacturing costs before tooling construction commences.
- Accredited Research Laboratory of the Emilia-Romagna High Technology Network
- Certified to UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 (since 1996) and UNI EN ISO 14001:2015
- Operates an internal metrology and quality laboratory with CNC optical vision measuring systems
GHEPI offers turnkey project development, engineering optimization, mold tooling management, and technical injection molding services:
- Design for Manufacturing (DFM) & Co-Design: Optimization of component geometries, wall thicknesses, draft angles, ribs, parting lines, and structural tolerances to minimize mold complexity and cycle times.
- Simulation & Analysis: Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Moldflow simulation (fill, pack, cooling, warpage), Project FMEA, Process FMEA, and risk assessments.
- Mold Project Management: 3D mold tooling design, tooling supervision across certified toolmakers in Italy and China, mold sampling, and PPAP Level 3 documentation.
- Technical Plastic Injection Molding: High-volume processing of standard polymers, engineering plastics, and metal replacement compounds (e.g., PPS, PPA, PEEK, PA66/PA6 filled with glass or carbon fiber).
- Quality Assurance & Metrology: Dimensional verification with Mitutoyo Quick Vision Active CNC vision measurement systems, CP/CPK capability studies, and 8D reporting.
