HTI Plastics: A Global Manufacturing Partner for Pharmaceutical and Custom Injection Molding

Global Reach. Pharmaceutical Expertise. Custom Manufacturing Solutions.

In today’s increasingly connected marketplace, finding the right manufacturing partner means looking beyond production capabilities alone. Companies need a partner that understands their industry, recognizes the complexities of international markets, maintains consistent quality standards, and has the logistical capabilities to deliver products wherever their business operates.

Since 1985, HTI Plastics has built its reputation on delivering high-quality custom injection-molded products, developing long-standing customer relationships, and providing the technical expertise needed to bring products from concept to production. Today, HTI serves customers around the world, shipping to six continents and supporting businesses across a wide range of industries and international marketplaces.

Located in Lincoln, Nebraska, HTI combines the manufacturing capabilities and responsiveness of an experienced U.S. manufacturer with the global perspective and logistical experience required to serve customers worldwide.

Four Decades of Manufacturing Experience and Pharmaceutical Expertise

HTI Plastics began in 1985 as a small plastics manufacturer with in-house engineering and tooling capabilities. One of the company’s earliest product developments was the design and manufacturing of one of the first pharmaceutical vaginal applicators. That early experience helped establish the foundation for what has become one of HTI’s primary areas of expertise: pharmaceutical injection molding.

Over the decades, HTI has continued to expand its pharmaceutical product offerings and manufacturing capabilities. Today, its applicators serve a variety of prescription and over-the-counter applications, supporting pharmaceutical companies with products designed around accuracy, consistency, functionality, and patient experience.

HTI’s experience extends beyond its proprietary applicator products. The company works with pharmaceutical manufacturers and other industry partners to develop and manufacture custom injection-molded components that meet specific product requirements, production demands, and quality expectations.

With ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, FDA registration, and cGMP-compliant manufacturing practices, HTI understands the importance of quality systems, process control, documentation, and consistency when manufacturing products for regulated industries.

This experience provides customers with more than manufacturing capacity. It provides a partner who understands the expectations and responsibilities associated with pharmaceutical production.

Comprehensive Custom Injection Molding Capabilities

While pharmaceutical manufacturing remains a cornerstone of HTI’s business, the company’s expertise extends across a diverse range of custom injection molding applications.

HTI operates a modern injection molding facility featuring equipment from leading manufacturers, including KraussMaffei, Sodick, and ENGEL, with machine capabilities ranging from 30 to 1,800 tons. This range allows HTI to support projects involving a variety of part sizes, materials, designs, and production volumes.

Beyond injection molding, HTI offers a comprehensive range of services to support customers throughout the manufacturing process, including:

• Engineering and Design Support: In-house engineering expertise to assist with product development, design for manufacturability, and process optimization.

• Tooling and Mold Management: An in-house tool room providing tooling support, mold maintenance, and assistance with new tooling development and mold transfers.

• Scientific Molding: Process-driven manufacturing focused on repeatability, consistency, and control of critical molding parameters.

• Secondary Operations: Capabilities including insert molding, overmolding, ultrasonic welding, pad printing, hot stamping, machining, and other value-added operations.

• Assembly and Packaging: Assembly, product handling, and packaging solutions designed around individual customer and product requirements.

These capabilities allow HTI to serve as more than a component supplier. By combining engineering, tooling, production, secondary operations, and packaging, HTI can provide customers with an integrated manufacturing solution that reduces complexity and streamlines the supply chain.

HTI serves customers across pharmaceutical, animal health, food packaging, sporting goods, and other custom manufacturing markets, bringing the same commitment to quality, responsiveness, and customer collaboration to every project.

A Global Partner with Experience Across Six Continents

Manufacturing for international customers requires more than the ability to ship a product overseas. It requires an understanding of the different business environments, regulatory expectations, customer requirements, and supply chain considerations that influence how products are developed, manufactured, and delivered around the world.

HTI Plastics currently ships products to six continents, working with customers and business partners across multiple international marketplaces. This global experience has provided HTI with an understanding of the different challenges and expectations that come with supporting customers outside the United States.

Whether working with a pharmaceutical company in Europe, an international manufacturing partner in Asia, or a customer in another global marketplace, HTI recognizes that every customer and project brings its own requirements.

Communication, documentation, production planning, packaging, shipping coordination, and delivery expectations can vary significantly between markets. HTI’s experience working with international customers allows the company to navigate these differences while maintaining a consistent focus on product quality, customer service, and dependable manufacturing.

Equally important is HTI’s approach to customer relationships. International customers receive the same direct communication, engineering support, and collaborative attention as domestic customers. From initial project discussions and product development through production and ongoing shipments, HTI works to establish relationships built on accessibility, accountability, and long-term partnership.

Our global reach is not simply measured by the destinations we ship to. It is reflected in our ability to understand our customers’ businesses, adapt to their requirements, and provide manufacturing solutions that support their success in markets around the world.

Strategically Located for Global Shipping and Distribution

Although HTI serves customers around the world, its manufacturing operations are centrally located in Lincoln, Nebraska, providing an important logistical advantage for domestic and international distribution.

The company’s location offers convenient access to several major transportation resources, including the Lincoln Airport, Interstate 80, one of the country’s primary east-west transportation corridors, and established rail infrastructure.

This combination of air, highway, and rail access provides flexibility when planning shipments and managing supply chain requirements. Whether a customer requires routine production deliveries, time-sensitive shipments, or larger freight movements, HTI’s central U.S. location offers multiple transportation options to support its distribution needs.

For international customers, this accessibility is particularly valuable. Products manufactured in Nebraska can be coordinated for shipment through appropriate domestic and international transportation networks, helping connect HTI’s manufacturing operations with customers across the globe.

Combined with years of experience managing international shipments, HTI understands that reliable delivery is an essential part of the manufacturing relationship. Producing a quality product is only one part of the commitment; getting that product to the customer efficiently and dependably is equally important.

Understanding Different Markets. Delivering Consistent Results.

One of the greatest advantages of working with an experienced global manufacturing partner is having a team that understands the importance of adapting to different customer needs without compromising manufacturing standards.

HTI Plastics works with organizations of varying sizes, from companies developing new products to established international businesses with ongoing production requirements. Each partnership requires an understanding of the customer’s objectives, production environment, quality expectations, and long-term business goals.

HTI approaches these relationships with an emphasis on communication and collaboration. The company works closely with customers to understand project requirements, identify manufacturing opportunities, address challenges, and develop solutions that support both immediate production needs and future growth.

This approach is particularly important in pharmaceutical manufacturing, where product consistency, quality systems, regulatory considerations, and dependable supply are critical. It is equally valuable in custom molding applications, where product designs, materials, production volumes, and secondary operations can vary considerably.

By combining decades of manufacturing experience with an established international customer base, HTI brings a practical understanding of what it takes to support customers in multiple marketplaces.

A Global Outlook with a Customer-Focused Approach

As global supply chains continue to evolve, companies need manufacturing partners capable of providing more than competitive production costs. They need experience, technical capabilities, quality systems, logistical flexibility, and a genuine commitment to understanding their business.

For more than 40 years, HTI Plastics has continued to grow and invest in the people, equipment, and processes necessary to meet those expectations.

From its beginnings as a small Nebraska-based plastics manufacturer to its position today as an established supplier shipping to six continents, HTI’s growth has been driven by a commitment to manufacturing excellence, customer relationships, and continuous improvement.

Whether supporting an international pharmaceutical company, developing a custom injection-molded component, or managing ongoing production for a customer thousands of miles away, HTI brings the same philosophy to every partnership: understand the customer’s needs, deliver quality products, and provide the expertise and support necessary for long-term success.

HTI Plastics is proud to be a U.S.-based manufacturing partner with a global reach, providing pharmaceutical expertise and custom injection molding solutions to customers around the world.
