IE Plast
Precision and Efficiency for Your Plastics Processing
We design and deliver process‑optimized industrial facilities for the plastics processing industry – enabling maximum efficiency, stable operations and guaranteed quality. Factory planning, construction planning and execution – all from a single source.
IE Plast - A General Planner who Truly Understands Plastics Procession
In plastics processing, every detail matters – from a precisely designed production environment and efficient change over processes to reliable raw‑material supply, optimized material and personnel flows, energy efficiency and stable operating conditions. We complement your process expertise with our experience in integrated industrial planning. The result: production facilities precisely aligned with your processes, products and people. From the initial concept to turnkey delivery, we support you at every stage of your project.
Our Expertise in Plastics Processing
Whether injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming or reaction technology – we understand the specific requirements of plastics processing operations. By optimally coordinating production layouts, utility supply, room conditioning and process logistics, we create the framework for quality, efficiency and sustainable growth.
Injection Molding
In injection molding, material flow and environmental conditions are critical to ensuring consistent product quality and process stability. Flexible overhead utility distribution, clearly structured layouts and optimized machine positioning are key drivers of efficiency, quality and operational flexibility – especially in highly automated production environments.
Raw Material Handling
Raw‑material handling is the backbone of plastics processing.Working closely with our partners, we integrate silos, conveying stations, drying units and piping systems to ensure space‑efficient, reliable and scalable material flows.
Silos, feed points, drying, blending and processing systems are intelligently interconnected to create a seamless and robust supply infrastructure.

Intralogistics
From granulate storage to shipping, we take a holistic view of all material and component flows. Automated transport systems, intermediate storage areas and quality‑control zones are integrated both spatially and functionally into the overall concept – ensuring smooth operations and minimal throughput times.
Toolmaking
Toolmaking and tool maintenance demand precision, cleanliness and controlled environmental conditions. We design tool shops and tool‑storage areas with short distances to production, clear structures and optimized climatic conditions – ensuring maximum precision, availability and process reliability.
Energy Efficiency
The interaction between machinery and building infrastructure is central to sustainable plastics processing. Through intelligent building‑services concepts, we optimize energy flows and enable fossil‑free operation wherever possible. Depending on site conditions, this includes groundwater utilization, photovoltaic systems and integrated energy generation.Key elements of our energy concepts include reversible chillers and water‑to‑water heat pumps that recover thermal energy from process cooling – supported by free‑cooling strategies.
Digitalization
Transparent, automation‑ready production environments – from Smart Factory concepts to Digital Twins – require reliable data, sensors and system connectivity. We design infrastructures for temperature, humidity, energy‑consumption and vibration monitoring, seamless machine connectivity (MES, ERP, IoT) and comprehensive data evaluation.
Based on an assessment of your existing system landscape, we define the appropriate level of digitalization, derive vendor‑neutral functional specifications and support the request‑for‑quotation process.

From Cleanroom Injection‑Molding Lines to Flexible Production Halls
Success in plastics processing depends on stable processes and a production environment tailored to your technology. We design and realize production facilities precisely matched to machine requirements, automation levels and (where required) cleanroom classifications for sensitive products.
Process‑Optimized Production Facilities
We plan production areas for maximum efficiency: short routes for materials and personnel, optimized space utilization and forward‑looking concepts for future expansions – safeguarding your long‑term competitiveness.
GMP-compliant Cleanroom Production
We are specialists in the planning and realization of GMP‑compliant cleanrooms for plastics processing, including full qualification. Through integrated zoning and airlock concepts combined with precisely engineered HVAC systems, we ensure reliable compliance with required cleanliness classes – particularly for medical, pharmaceutical and regulated products.
