The future of consumer goods

At Rompa Group we are grateful to belong to the latter and be able to keep providing (potential) customers all over the world with their desired plastic products. Businesses around the world experienced a good flow the last couple of years. But now, especially since recent months, the world looks a bit different. Businesses have to deal with sudden circumstances beyond their control. We are here, not to survive but to thrive!

At home in the consumer goods market

We know our way around in different industries, such as consumer goods. For the consumer market, we make both components and finished goods, such as cable and pipe detector equipment, car seats, battery packs for wireless vacuum cleaners, router systems and charger bases for electric shavers. Thanks to factories, machines and personnel across the globe, we can manufacture and assemble these complete consumer products. Even when the product consists of 50 components - or more - or contains electronics or Bluetooth elements.

Our electronics manufacturing services (EMS) are excellent. We organize everything, from scratch to transportation, meanwhile researching – in cooperation with our customers – new product and market innovations, such as IoT solutions (Internet of Things). Our customers are market leaders, both multinationals and brand owners. They choose our partnership because of our expertise in injection moulding. But besides that, they appreciate our original design manufacturing (ODM), contract manufacturing (CM) and vertical integrated services, which exceeds the expectation of many.

Technological excellence

We keep the finished product in mind, every step of the way, whether we design travel cases for electric toothbrushes, windscreen wipers, engine components, automatic towel machines, thermometers, razor stands with an order button or something completely different. Our design studio understands the various design and technology requirements that any new product or packaging system needs to fulfil. We have experience with design for:

  • Functionality (industrial design)
  • Protection (packaging technology)
  • Sustainability (environmental design)
  • Cost efficiency (product engineering)
  • Selling (3D design)

For production, we use known manufacturing technologies like injection moulding, thermoforming, electronic manufacturing (PCBA), decorating, assembly (ESD) and packaging. With welcoming ITB, we added metal injection moulding (MIM) and metal stamping to the palette. We also have our tool shop so we can develop and manufacture our moulds in-house, which guarantees efficiency and premium quality.

So, a fully-finished, complex, custom made product - with for example inbuilt electronic components, outside decorations and packaging to match - is possible thanks to our experience with wide-ranging techniques, vertical integrated services and lean production approach. The possibilities are virtually endless.

A tot Z services

We can deliver fully-finished products, with or without electronics, custom made for different industries and markets. We provide precisely what is needed, from the drawing board - at our design studio - to delivery. All based on the ideas and wishes of our customers. Within this vertical integrated services process, we follow these steps:

  • Assessing ideas
  • Drawing up design specifications
  • Creating a prototype
  • Mass production
  • Assembly
  • Delivery

Quality is key

All our production sites are ISO certified, in line with the standards ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO 14001 (environment). Additionally, regarding the automotive industry, we are certified according to IATF 16949. The general policies of ISO include aspects such as quality control, safe conditions and environmental protection. We realize this through preventive measures and continual improvement of our processes, with a focus on manufacturing products that meet both the requirements of our customers and are just as consistent as we promise they will be. All without damaging people and planet. Last but not least, we apply quality methodologies such as APQP, PPAP, AQL and SPC.

The next step

Despite the challenging times we have to deal with, we are as ready as we can be. We are prepared to continue to serve our existing customers, even beyond their expectations. Ready to accept new customers. Ready to develop new products. Ready to grow to new markets. Ready to develop new technologies. Ready to take the next step. Ready for the future.
