About TB&C
TB&C is a development and production partner for custom hybrid components, busbars, and mechatronic and kinematic metal injection molding (MIM) assemblies. The company combines thermoplastics, steel and copper into functionally integrated parts. Core processes are Outsert technology (functional plastic elements on a metallic base body, including movable parts such as levers and gears in a single shot), Insert technology for busbars and carrier frames, as well as overmolding and net overmolding of multi-component products. For electromobility, battery junction boxes, cell contacting systems and overmolded busbars are manufactured. TB&C hybrid parts are used worldwide in the automotive industry, in industrial applications and in medical technology; according to the company, more than 3 million sunroof systems per year are equipped with TB&C hybrid parts. The focus is on medium to large-scale series starting at 10,000 units per year.
