Founded in Humen, Dongguan
Started by a mold design engineer with experience in Japanese and Taiwanese mold factories, focused on designing and building plastic injection molds for customers.
Company
A toolmaker’s factory, run by an engineer since 2003
Dongguan Cents Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was started in 2003 by a mold design engineer who trained inside Japanese and Taiwanese mold factories. That origin still shapes how we work: engineers make the decisions, machines hold the tolerance, and the customer talks to the person who can actually change the outcome.
About us — quick answer
Cents Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a custom plastic injection molding and injection mold manufacturing factory founded in 2003 in Humen, Dongguan, Guangdong, China. The company operates a 2,520 m² facility with 36 mold-machining machines and 30 injection molding machines from 20T to 300T, holding tolerances to ±0.01 mm. 100% of mold making and molding is performed in-house. Core capabilities: injection mold design and manufacturing, DFM analysis, over-molding and insert molding, unscrewing and collapsible-core molds for threaded closures, cosmetics packaging (lipstick tubes), medical device molding, toy molding and precision mechanical parts. Primary export markets: the USA, Canada, Germany, the UK, Poland, Ukraine and Russia.
Where CENTS comes from
Before founding the company in 2003, our owner worked as a mold design engineer for Japanese and Taiwanese mold factories — the apprenticeship route that teaches mold making as a discipline of tolerances, not of improvisation. In 2003 he opened a small mold workshop in Humen, the Dongguan town that has become one of the world’s densest mold making clusters.
Two decades later the workshop is a 2,520 m² plant with a mold design office, a machine shop of 36 machines, an injection molding department of 30 presses, an anti-dust molding area, an inspection centre with CMM equipment and assembly workshops. The scale changed. The engineering habit did not.
What we believe about tooling
- Geometry is not negotiable. A mold either holds the tolerance or it does not; there is no persuasive middle ground.
- Design errors are cheapest on screen. That is why DFM review happens before quoting, not after a failed trial.
- Outsourcing is a hidden lead time. Keeping machining in-house is how we keep a schedule we can actually promise.
- The customer should own the tool. Drawings, certificates and spare parts travel with your mold, so you are never locked in.
The organisation
Deliberately flat, deliberately small enough to care
We are a mid-sized factory, not a group with five layers between you and the workshop. That is a deliberate choice — and it is the part of our operation customers notice most in week three of a tooling project.
10Mold design engineers3D design, DFM and tooling review
5QC inspectorsIn-process and final inspection
1Decision layerOwner-visible escalation, no bureaucracy
100%Machining in-houseNo subcontract risk on your schedule
What this means in practice: when your part needs a design change at T1, the toolmaker, the designer and the person who can approve the change are within a few metres of each other. Answers arrive the same day, in writing, with the drawing revision attached.
Export experience
Shipping tooling and parts to Europe and North America since 2017
Export is a discipline of its own: documentation, packing, freight mode, customs, and a partner on the other side who has to run your mold without us standing next to it.
| Region | Countries | Typical scope |
|---|---|---|
| North America | USA, Canada | Production molds, production molding, spare parts |
| Western Europe | Germany, UK, Poland | Cosmetics tooling, precision parts, multi-cavity molds |
| Central & Eastern Europe | Ukraine, Russia | Export molds with documentation and tool-transfer support |
Beyond these markets we quote on request — the engineering does not change, only the freight and documentation requirements.
Track record
Milestones we can point to
Cosmetics tooling for a European brand
Continuous manufacture of lipstick tubes and cosmetic inner tubes for a well-known European cosmetics company. Required mold life: 1,000,000 shots. Validated life of the tools we built: 5,000,000 shots.
Medical, toy and mechanical part molds
More than two decades of tooling for medical products, toys and machinery components for European and North American customers — the base on which our precision reputation was built.
Direct export business
Since 2017 we have shipped molds and molded parts directly to customers in the USA, Canada, Russia, Germany, the UK, Poland and Ukraine Germany, the UK, Poland, Ukraine and Russia, with full documentation and tool-transfer support.
