Product Design & Engineering Support

Susdura works alongside your team from the earliest stages of product design, offering full system mold design to keep tooling costs competitive while ensuring your part performs reliably over its intended service life.

Our engineering team specializes in developing custom composite parts for demanding, high-stress environments. We help simplify assemblies by consolidating multiple components into a single molded part — using molded-in inserts to add function and eliminate secondary processing steps. Every project runs through our structured Program Management process, so your part moves from concept to production on schedule and to spec.
