Consulting in plastics processing
Practical consulting for medium-sized manufacturing companies
From an environmental standpoint, hardly any other subject is currently as polarizing as plastic, while the industry is simultaneously exposed to constant pressure to optimize in the manufacturing sector in order to remain competitive. This ambiguity engenders many challenges that the industry must now overcome. This is compounded by many companies failing to see the big picture, and a certain degree of tunnel vision means that the potential for sustainable innovations and improvements is often recognized and exploited too late.
A decisive step In this time of change is the involvement of external consultants: Tebis Consulting provides your company with in-depth knowledge of the industry, technical expertise and a neutral perspective to identify and implement significant process optimizations in plastics processing. Our approach also includes supporting change processes within your company. We work together with you to pave the way to more efficient and cost-effective production.
Why are we experts in plastics processing?
Before we started our consulting careers at Tebis Consulting, we had already accumulated many years of professional experience in the industry. This enables us not only to communicate theoretical knowledge, but also to provide tried and proven practical strategies from our own experience. We can therefore communicate with all employees as equals and can understand precisely the challenges they face. We supplement this essential ability by offering the following industry-specific solutions for plastics processing companies:
Benchmark databaseCompanies can use standardized key figures from our benchmark database to objectively measure their own performance and evaluate it in comparison with industry standards. This data-oriented approach enables decision-makers to develop their strategies based on solid data. Using the benchmark database thus contributes significantly to sustainably increasing your company's success.Process tools from Tebis ConsultingWe provide customized, efficient process tools for improving productivity in plastics processing. These are designed to simplify routine activities and optimize workflow. They help to close gaps in production processes and make interfaces more effective without demanding significant implementation effort.Our consulting approach

The plastics industry stands on the cusp of major changes driven by both ecological necessities and advances in technology. Sustainability and the innovative application of technology to improve efficiency and productivity are at the heart of this development.
Handling of recyclates & biodegradable plastics
While biodegradable plastics open up new possibilities for environmentally friendly products, they require special processing methods and equipment to fully exploit their properties. At the same time, recyclates must be integrated in existing production processes, necessitating careful selection and control of the material to ensure the quality of the end products. The creation of sustainable products that still meet the high demands of customers is affected by crucial factors such as material purity and mechanical properties.
Automation of injection molding machines
Automation in injection molding is a key step towards improving efficiency and reducing production costs. Workflows can be standardized and the precision of production processes improved through the use of robots and intelligent control systems. Not only does this improve production capacity, it also enables consistent product quality. The challenge for companies is to determine the appropriate balance between automated and manual processes and to train employees to work with the new technology.
Reducing and avoiding scrap
Reducing or avoiding scrap is another critical goal in plastics processing. High-value scrap is not only a waste of material and resources, but also of working time and energy. Errors can be detected and corrected at an early stage through the implementation of advanced monitoring systems and quality controls. Process optimization based on data analysis helps identify and eliminate the causes of scrap, which can improve overall production efficiency.
Optimizing production processes
Companies can shorten their throughput times and reduce costs by implementing continuous improvement processes and adapting to lean management principles. The challenge lies in designing the production processes to react flexibly to market fluctuations and customer requirements without compromising product quality. Digital technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and predictive maintenance can help to maximize the efficiency of production lines and minimize downtime.
Future strategic orientation
Future strategic orientation in plastics processing must focus on sustainability and innovation. Companies are faced with the challenge of developing new business models that simultaneously account for ecological and social aspects while remaining economically viable. Investment in research and development of new materials and technology plays a central role here. Over the long term, companies absolutely must position themselves as part of a global circular economy and actively contribute to reducing environmental pollution.
Cooperation with mold manufacturing
Cooperation with the mold manufacturing industry is a crucial factor for success in plastics processing. The precise design of molds directly impacts the quality and cost of the plastic parts produced. This interdisciplinary collaboration necessitates a high degree of technical understanding and communication to ensure that the tools are optimally adapted to the respective production conditions. Close cooperation and the exchange of specialist knowledge result in more efficient processes and contribute significantly to shortening development times and reducing production costs.
These trends show that the plastics industry sees both major challenges as well as significant opportunities to operate more sustainably from both an economic and ecological perspective. The future will be defined by a balance between innovation, efficiency and sustainability, with each of these aspects contributing to the long-term resilience and competitiveness of the industry.
