More than 25 years ago, Promatrix was one of the first Dutch companies to produce aluminium moulds, mainly prototyping moulds for automotive parts. Today, these kind of tools still make up about 95 percent of the Promatrix mould portfolio. The parts produced with these moulds are mainly used by the OEMs or Tier-1 companies to validate the design and test the parts, e.g. for crash resistance, paintability, etc.

In its own injection moulding department, Promatrix produces half prototypes for the automotive industry and half articles for a wide range of applications, including for offshore customers. This includes components for bicycles, robot lawn mowers as well as 2K-applications, such as earplugs made of ABS, PA, TPE and much more.
