2-3rd December, 2026 - Athlone International Arena. Athlone. Ireland
Stand D20 | Plastics Live Ireland 2026
Meet the companies behind the technology at Plastics Live Ireland 2026.
For injection moulders and manufacturers, the quality, cost and delivery of production tooling can determine how quickly a new product reaches the market.
At Plastics Live Ireland 2026, Shineyuu-Mold will be showcasing its expertise in precision injection mould tooling, from rapid prototype moulds to complex, multi-cavity production tools for demanding applications.
Based in Zhongshan, Guangdong, China, Shineyuu-Mold has spent more than a decade supplying precision tooling to customers worldwide, delivering over 1,972 moulds to 33+ countries across the automotive, medical device, electronics, appliance and industrial sectors.
With production tooling lead times of 15–25 working days, European-standard components and comprehensive quality verification, the company aims to help manufacturers overcome tooling capacity constraints without compromising precision or reliability.
We caught up with the Shineyuu-Mold team to learn more about their capabilities, the challenges facing manufacturers and what visitors can expect at Stand D20 this December.
Shineyuu-Mold is a precision injection mould manufacturer based in Zhongshan, Guangdong, in China’s Pearl River Delta.
Operating from a 3,286 m² manufacturing facility, the company specialises in designing and producing injection mould tooling for automotive, medical device, electronics, appliance and industrial applications.
Its capabilities range from prototype tooling delivered from seven days to multi-cavity, hot-runner production moulds manufactured in 15–25 working days, with specified mould lifespans of 500,000 to more than 2 million shots.
Shineyuu-Mold also provides low-volume injection moulded components to support bridge production and early-stage manufacturing requirements.
Every mould is supplied with a First Article Inspection (FAI) report, with dimensional verification carried out using Zeiss coordinate measuring machine (CMM) technology.
The company holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001 and IATF 16949:2016 certifications, supporting its commitment to quality, process control and consistent manufacturing standards.
Shineyuu-Mold positions itself as a dedicated tooling partner to injection moulders and OEMs, providing the tooling expertise while allowing customers to maintain their own manufacturing and client relationships.
Visitors to Stand D20 will have the opportunity to examine real production components and tooling samples that demonstrate Shineyuu-Mold’s precision engineering capabilities.
Two particular highlights will be on display.
Surface Finish Reference Plate
Shineyuu-Mold will showcase an in-house moulded surface finish reference plate featuring the full SPI surface finish range alongside VDI 3400 texture grades.
Even the company name is formed directly by the mould rather than printed afterwards.
The handheld sample allows visitors to compare finishes, identify suitable specifications for their applications and discuss tooling quotations directly with the team.
Four Production Components Demonstrating Different Tooling Capabilities
Visitors will also be able to examine four production samples:
Each component will be accompanied by a technical information card detailing the steel grade, cavity count, cycle time, tolerances, surface finish and material specifications.
This gives engineers and toolmakers the opportunity to evaluate the company’s capabilities through real production examples.
Shane Keenan, Shineyuu-Mold’s Ireland-born European Client Representative, will be available throughout both days to discuss tooling requirements, review component drawings and explore potential projects.
Shineyuu-Mold focuses on three challenges affecting injection moulders and manufacturers: tooling lead times, cost pressures and production problems identified too late in the development process.
Reducing tooling lead times
With European tool rooms often operating at capacity, delays in tooling manufacture can affect entire product launch schedules.
Shineyuu-Mold offers prototype tooling from seven days and production moulds in 15–25 working days, helping manufacturers plan development and production timelines with greater confidence.
Managing costs without compromising quality
According to Shineyuu-Mold, its customers typically achieve tooling cost savings of 25–40% compared with European tooling.
The company uses internationally recognised components, including HASCO and DME mould bases and YUDO and Mold-Masters hot-runner systems.
This approach helps maintain access to replacement components and servicing options within European markets throughout the tool’s operating life.
Identifying manufacturing issues before production
Every enquiry includes a complimentary Design for Manufacture (DFM) review and Moldflow simulation before steel cutting begins.
These assessments help identify potential problems with wall thickness, gate positioning, cooling and material flow at the design stage, reducing the risk of costly modifications after initial production trials.
Supporting longer tool life and material flexibility
Shineyuu-Mold also recognises the importance of durability and changing material requirements.
Its production tools are designed for specified lifespans of 500,000 to more than 2 million shots, while its experience includes processing recycled and bio-based polymer grades where required by customers.
Ireland’s established medical technology sector, combined with its network of injection moulders, contract manufacturers and product design specialists, makes it an important market for precision tooling.
For Shineyuu-Mold, Plastics Live Ireland provides an opportunity to build relationships with manufacturers seeking additional tooling capacity, competitive lead times and reliable international manufacturing partners.
The company’s objectives are focused on meaningful commercial discussions rather than simply generating large numbers of contacts.
Shineyuu-Mold is aiming to arrange 12–15 targeted meetings during the event and develop qualified tooling enquiries that can be quoted within seven working days.
The team is particularly interested in meeting:
The goal is to establish long-term relationships with Irish manufacturers and become a trusted tooling partner for future projects.
Shineyuu-Mold identifies three developments that will increasingly influence tooling and plastics manufacturing.
1. Tooling capacity will become a critical production bottleneck
As manufacturers seek to strengthen regional production and shorten supply chains, tooling capacity is becoming increasingly important.
Shineyuu-Mold believes that the ability to deliver validated production tooling quickly will become a major competitive advantage, particularly where product launch schedules are under pressure.
2. Sustainability requirements will increasingly influence mould design
Recycled material content, recyclability and energy efficiency are becoming more closely integrated into product specifications.
Higher recycled content can affect shrinkage, material flow, gate positioning and cooling requirements, making it increasingly important for toolmakers to account for material variability during the design process.
3. Toolmaking expertise will become more dependent on simulation and documented processes
As experienced toolmakers retire and the industry faces skills shortages, manufacturers will need to preserve technical knowledge through simulation, standardisation and repeatable production systems.
Shineyuu-Mold expects customers to place growing value on tooling suppliers that can demonstrate consistent, documented engineering processes rather than relying solely on individual experience.
For Shineyuu-Mold, the value of a regional industry event lies in bringing the right technical expertise together in one place.
Ireland’s close network of medical technology manufacturers, injection moulders, contract manufacturers and design specialists creates opportunities for practical, face-to-face discussions that can be difficult to replicate remotely.
The company encourages visitors to arrive with a specific manufacturing challenge or component drawing rather than simply browsing exhibition stands.
Speaking directly with a toolmaker, moulding engineer or material specialist can help resolve manufacturability questions, identify potential improvements and accelerate project decisions.
Shineyuu-Mold’s message to visitors is simple:
Bring a real part drawing. Come with a manufacturing challenge. Leave with a clearer route to production.
The team will be available at Stand D20 throughout both days to review drawings, discuss tooling requirements and explore potential solutions.
