Industrialists in the various sectors addressed, who are keen on virtuous solutions, have discovered Roctool's expertise in mold heating and cooling technologies for plastics and composites. Far from being anecdotal, Roctool technology makes it possible, among other things, to eliminate the use of paint in the automotive and consumer products industries, to facilitate the molding of recycled resins or to offer reductions in part thickness for significant material savings.

Through its Eco-Molding initiative, Roctool addresses a portfolio of high-end and high-growth customers, accompanies them towards an ecological transition while enabling them to produce new-generation parts using exclusive heating and cooling technology with exceptional properties.

A solid and relevant business model

With this cutting-edge technology, Roctool has been able to refine its business model in order to best meet its customers’ various expectations. It is thus based on a solid offer:
