PHILIPS PMF INTERNATIONAL
Leading manufacturer of precision plastics parts / Award of ISO 9001 / Ford Q1 supplier
Since 1991, Philips Plastics and Metalware Factories (PO Box 218, NL-5600 MD Eindhoven) has operated as an autonomous organisation within Philips. Today the business involves 17 companies operating in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic and India employing around 4,000 people. Philips PMF companies sell approximately 60% of their output to Philips.
In plastics processing, the company operates three plants in Europe and two in India, using primarily injection moulding technology. The main site is Philips Competence Centre Plastics BV (Building SEH-4, PO Box 218, NL-5600 MD Eindhoven). In addition to developing products such as optical components for CD players for its parent company, Philips CCP also is looking to joint projects with other leading companies in consumer and business electronics, telecommunications and medical applications. For example, it has developed tooling and injection moulding processes for high precision plastic parts for Hewlett-Packard inkjet printers. During 1995 Philips CCP was awarded ISO 9001.
Philips KMT BV (Zevenheuvelenweg 23, NL-5048 AN Tilburg), manufactures advance plastic-metal combinations and plastic precision products. During 1995 it developed a technology in which wire, fed in automatically during the injection moulding process, is uniformly deformed. It is used for the manufacture of miniature coil formers for the lighting market. The company works with a few major accounts within the automotive, television and computer monitor markets.
Its third site in Europe is in Belgium. Philips Plastics Lommel (Dr A Philipsweg 4, B-3920 Lommel) is specialised in injection moulding of small precision parts and housings both in thermoplastics and thermosets. In addition to supplying Philips Lighting, this plant has also received the Ford Q1 award for its supply of fuel pump parts. Philips Plastics Lommel is also involved in projects at a new in house injection moulding facility of vacuum cleaner parts for the Philips factory in Hoogeveen, Netherlands, which commenced production in the middle of 1996.
