“We specialize in manufacturing high-performance, cost effective, and high-quality plastic custom injection molds, injection molding and clean room molding," says Stella Zhong, the President of Kenmold (North America). Equipped with state-of-the-art machines and expert technicians, the company assists clients from concept to market, serving as a one-stop-shop for their molding and tooling needs. The ability to ensure fast lead-time, maintain open communication and uninterrupted technical support, and protect clients’ IP, makes Kenmold a partner of choice for most manufacturers.
As a leading mold builder and parts manufacturer, Kenmold solves design issues and helps ensure design feasibility through analysis and design for manufacturability (DFM) practices. This allows the company to make the part perfectly moldable and best fit for clients’ requirements. Kenmold can perform turnkey projects and build solutions quickly to help clients bring their products to the market apace. Unlike its competitors, the company can manufacture tools that are up to 83 percent dimensionally perfect during the first trial and ready to ship after the second trial.
For instance, while manufacturing a product—which is an assembly of five different components—specifically designed for firefighters, the firm came across a serious assembly clearance issue. Kenmold resolved design issues by conducting a mold flow analysis to avoid part deflection and, thereby, the problem. Later on, identifying the need for ensuring high strength and low weight for the product, the company conducted extensive research to find the best material that could meet the specific requirements. The product was then fit-for-purpose.
To this end, the company established Innosurg Medical Device Technology, its subsidiary firm that follows ISO13485 requirements to become the best-fit for medical applications. With its ISO 8 cleanroom, the company can perform molding for medical products that require exceptional quality and hygiene. By complying with all regulations and policies, Innosurg ensures that its products meet international and medical industry standards. The company has now launched two products—Goggles and Gas masks—and is ready to support domestic and foreign customers with a one-stop-shop solution and service for injection medical products.

What makes Kenmold unique is its dedication toward enhancing its in-house capabilities, searching for better ways to do things, and embracing new technologies and equipment to stay ahead of the pack. The company’s internal agility to respond to market changes was well manifested during the pandemic. While most shops failed to sustain their operations, Kenmold was able to serve as a reliable contributor to the supply chain, shipping products to its clients. The company has successfully switched its interactions with clients into virtual media, including calls, video conferences, and others, to maintain uninterrupted communication with them during the pandemic.
Furthermore, Kenmold has undergone a massive transformation in the past few years. The company has built a new facility that houses advanced, high-efficiency equipment, including a 5-axis high-speed machining center and a clean room for medical products. Moving ahead, Kenmold is working with domestic partners for mold maintenance and repair services to provide better services and work more closely with customers. They are planning to increase their manufacturing capacity by purchasing additional six presses for the cleanroom in the next five years while Innosurg continues to develop new high-quality products for customers in the medical industry. “No matter how complex your needs are, we can serve as your manufacturing arm to not only fulfill your needs but help you stay ahead of the competition,” concludes Stella.
