Form Manufacturing — a leading injection molding company located in Coldwater, OH — is coming off one of its best years yet, highlighted by brand-elevating solutions, new hires, and expanded operations.
With more than 20 years of experience in injection molded devices, components, and packaging, they specialize in custom-decorated product badging, vehicle and appliance components (like knobs and other components), and custom cable overmolding.
Heading into 2025, Form Manufacturing is poised for greater growth while continuing to serve clients with the highest level of professional support for their injection molding projects, regardless of size or complexity. Here’s a quick look back at how they’ve grown in 2024:
NOTABLE 2024 BADGING PROJECTS
Fox Factory
Best known for their Fox Racing Shox brand of off-road racing components, Fox Factory boasts 50 years of suspension innovation, producing high-performance components for motorcycles, automobiles, all-terrain vehicles, side-by-sides, trophy trucks, snowmobiles, and mountain bikes. www.RideFox.com
Form Manufacturing worked on two separate badges for Fox Factory: their full-name wordmark logo (or logo mark) and a SUPERCHARGED logo for their 2024 Fox Factory Edition Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The limited-edition truck features a 6.2-liter V8 engine, a Whipple Gen V supercharger that produces 700 horsepower, and a high-performance suspension system designed by Fox Factory.
As they do with all their projects, Form Manufacturing molded these badges with the highest standards and best industry practices, producing resilient designs resistant to UV damage. At the same time, they integrated the latest technologies and best materials, including color-matched resin and 3M automotive adhesive for secure bonding.

DOMESTIC EXPANSION
With new tariffs on the horizon, businesses are rightfully concerned about the rising costs of out-of-country manufacturing. Thankfully, Form Manufacturing is well-prepared for the coming demand in domestic manufacturing operations, having grown their domestic manufacturing space and capabilities in 2024. They tripled their manufacturing space while adding two state-of-the-art injection molding machines:
BOY 125E Injection Molding Machine
Significantly stronger, larger, and more powerful than similar versions, the BOY 125 E offers a clamping force increase of 25% leading to greater effectiveness and faster production.
Arburg ALLROUNDER 275V Injection Molding Machine
Ideal for the flexible overmolding of inserts and tailored for customer- and industry-specific manufacturing, the vertical ALLROUNDER V offers superior manufacturing versatility and efficiency.
