Custom assembly | ENBI Plastics & Silicones

Functional end products.

Assembled with care.

In the assembly phase, individual parts are integrated into a single unit. This may result in a finished product, such as a seal or sensor housing, but more commonly produces a semi-finished component ready for subsequent processing or application.

That’s why we set high standards for traceability, repeatability, and control. From manual assembly to semi-automated lines and cobot support, every solution is tailored to the function and application of the final product.

We assemble under GMP conditions, with work instructions, validation, and quality checks carried out directly on the shop floor. We achieve this by following standards, working with the right people, and using technology to drive continuous improvement.

Lean thinking, smart doing.

Driving quality with rhythm, clarity, and measurable results.

Technology alone doesn’t guarantee good assembly. Structure does. At ENBI, every workstation follows lean principles, supported by visual instructions, optimized layouts, and regular 6S audits, ensuring clarity, consistency, and reproducibility in every process.

Improvements are driven by data. With Six Sigma, we optimize production lines, minimize variation, and create rhythm in the workflow. Colleagues with different belt levels work with engineering on smart tools, often developed in-house using automation and 3D printing.

This way, we keep control of the process, without sacrificing flexibility, craftsmanship, or job satisfaction.

Manual final assembly.

When technology is possible, but the business case decides.

Assembly isn’t one-size-fits-all. For every business case, we weigh the factors complexity, cycle time, output, and volume to see if automation makes sense. When it doesn’t, manual assembly proves to be the smarter, more efficient choice.

Even in this setup, we work in a structured, disciplined way. With visual instructions, standardized workstations, and a validated training program, we ensure quality and reproducibility. New colleagues are trained using a validation matrix, supported by team leaders, engineering, and the quality team.

A standard part of this process is our partnership with PSW. Candidates contribute to assembly and quality control, guided by job coach Lei and colleague Linda on the shop floor. With clear frameworks and personal attention, they bring real value to both the process and the team.

Cobot supported.

For stable production, through the smart use of technology.

Certain assembly tasks need the best of both worlds: the precision and repetition of a robot, combined with the flexibility and insight of an operator. That’s where the cobot shows its real strength.

Human and robot work safely together in one setup. The cobot performs precise, reproducible tasks such as dispensing, bonding, or positioning within tight tolerances. The operator supplies and secures parts, performs visual inspections, and makes adjustments where needed. This approach improves quality and throughput, without losing the flexibility of manual work.

This is what ENBI is all about: we develop these solutions in-house as part of our broader automation strategy. Think of cobots in in-line assembly, vision systems, and gripper technology. On our inspiration page, you can see how this works in practice.

Full automation is also an option. Imagine a closed process where molding, processing, vision systems, and packaging flow seamlessly together. This type of in-line automation delivers maximum efficiency for high volumes and stringent quality requirements.

Post-Processing & Packaging.

For finishing, sorting, and intelligent process support.

Not every step takes place within the assembly line. Some steps occur after the main process, but remain essential for the quality and functionality of the final product.

Examples include sorting parts, checking for deviations, adding components, or packing them into the required final packaging. This may involve bulk packaging, customer-specific quantities in bags or trays, or direct loading into shipping containers for shipment. The packaging method is tailored to the customer’s logistics process, practical, precise, and controlled. Preparing semi-finished products is also part of post-processing.

This process may seem simple and straightforward, but it’s exactly what makes the next step run seamlessly.
