Haumann Houston Launches Injection Molding & CNC Systems

A Milestone for Local Manufacturing Support

In November 2025, Haumann Houston reached a major milestone with the Houston injection molding and CNC systems launch, marking a new era of faster local support for U.S. OEMs. With compact, high‑precision injection molding and CNC machines coming online, Haumann strengthens its ability to deliver rapid prototyping, short‑run production, and close engineering collaboration right here in Houston.

With these systems coming online, Haumann is strengthening its ability to provide:

• Faster lead times for U.S. customers
• Local rapid sampling and engineering support
• Small-batch and pilot-production capability
• Closer collaboration with American footwear, electronics, and industrial OEMs

This marks a significant step in our dual-base manufacturing model across the U.S. and China, combining rapid local response with scalable global production.

Haumann Houston: New Injection Molding & CNC Cell Overview

The first production-ready cell at Haumann Houston is built around:

• Compact, high-precision injection molding machines
  • Ideal for small, detailed components and tightly toleranced parts
  • Perfect for rapid prototyping and short-run production
• CNC machining centers
  • Support for tooling modifications, prototype inserts, and precision fixtures
  • Refinement of complex parts and interfaces for demanding assemblies

This combination is especially valuable for:

• Early-stage development of performance footwear components
• Precision parts for electronics and consumer products
• Small-batch runs for industrial and automotive prototypes

What This Means for U.S. Customers

With Houston’s first equipment batch ready for production, U.S. customers benefit from:

1. Faster Lead Times

Local molding and machining capacity in Houston shortens the distance between engineering teams and manufacturing:

• Reduced shipping and customs delays for samples
• Shorter feedback loops during DFM and tool optimization
• Faster transition from sample approval to pilot builds

2. Local Rapid Sampling & Engineering Support

The Houston team can now provide:

• Local rapid sampling for new projects or design changes
• Joint reviews with U.S. engineers—online or on-site
• Real-time adjustments on mold setups, parameters, and fixtures

3. Small-Batch & Pilot Production

Before scaling to millions of parts, many OEMs need:

• Pilot runs to validate performance in the field
• Limited initial volumes for market testing or phased launches
• Special support for engineering changes and early design iterations

The compact machines and CNC support in Houston are tailored for exactly this — small-batch, high-precision production that can smoothly transition into high-volume manufacturing.

4. Closer Collaboration With U.S. OEMs

Located in one of the key industrial centers in Texas, Haumann Houston enables closer collaboration with:

• American footwear brands (carbon-composite plates, outsoles, and insole structures)
• Electronics and consumer-product OEMs
• Automotive and industrial equipment manufacturers

For these customers, having a U.S.-based technical and manufacturing partner simplifies communication, accelerates issue resolution, and strengthens long-term program stability.

Dual-Base Manufacturing: Houston & Foshan Working Together

The new Houston capability is not a standalone island—it’s part of Haumann’s dual-base manufacturing model:

• Houston, USA
  • Rapid sampling
  • Engineering collaboration
  • Small-batch and pilot production
• Foshan, China
  • High-volume mass production
  • Complex tooling and automated molding lines
  • Global logistics for large-scale programs

This model lets OEMs:

• Develop and refine parts locally
• Validate early builds quickly
• Scale seamlessly into IATF 16949 & ISO 9001-certified mass production once designs stabilize

Why OEMs Choose Haumann for U.S.-Linked Projects

Manufacturers working on precision plastic parts, carbon composites, and turnkey assemblies choose Haumann because we offer:

German-led engineering

• DFM, tolerance analysis, and tooling design for complex parts.
• Integrated CNC + Injection Molding
  • Prototype inserts, fixtures, and molded parts are coordinated under one team.
• Certified quality systems
  • ISO 9001 and IATF 16949-level quality for automotive, electronics, and performance goods.
• End-to-end services
  • From prototyping and development to mass production and assembly.
• Global scale with local responsiveness
  • Houston for fast interaction; Foshan for cost-efficient, large-scale output.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What type of projects is the Houston facility best suited for?
Haumann Houston is optimized for:

• Small, intricate plastic components
• Rapid prototypes and engineering samples
• Pilot and short-run production
• Components that need close collaboration with U.S.-based teams

These projects can then scale into high-volume production through our broader network.

2. Can Houston handle full mass production on its own?
Houston is primarily focused on rapid, flexible, and early-stage production, not replacing our large-scale Foshan capacity. For high-volume programs, we typically:

• Develop and optimize designs and processes
• Run pilot and pre-production builds in Houston
• Transition validated programs into Foshan mass production when volumes grow.

3. What industries can use the Houston facility?
We support customers in:

• Sporting goods & performance footwear
• Appliances and consumer electronics
• Automotive accessories and industrial components

Any OEM needing high-precision plastic parts, prototypes, or small-batch builds can benefit.

4. How fast can I get samples from Houston?
Timelines depend on part complexity and tooling readiness, but the goal of the Houston facility is to provide significantly faster sampling and iteration for U.S. customers compared to overseas-only models. Initial samples can often be produced shortly after tooling and material are ready.

5. Does Haumann provide design or DFM support from Houston?
Yes. Our engineering team provides:

• DFM reviews
• Material guidance
• Cost and manufacturability optimization

We can host joint reviews with your team and adjust tooling or process parameters quickly.

6. How do I start a project with Haumann Houston?
You can begin with:

• CAD files of your part
• Existing samples
• A concept and basic performance requirements

From there, we’ll evaluate feasibility, recommend the right combination of CNC, molding, and production approach, and align on timelines.
