As an expert in custom mold manufacturing, FGL is best known for its excellence in the design, engineering, manufacturing, and servicing of molds., regardless of their size, complexity, and applications. FGL’s team of certified project managers, designers, mold makers, and machinists has the expertise to manufacture molds with the utmost workmanship and professionalism, delivering unrivalled quality to clients. The team’s experience in mold alteration, maintenance, repair, and custom machining services is world class.

Today, FGL is a leader in the custom mold manufacturing space, which is interesting considering its humble beginnings. Founded by three brothers—Frank, George, and Leslie Meisels—it began as a family business committed to offering molds engineered to clients’ needs. After 58 years, the third-generation FGL team strives to uphold the same legacy and passion, of the founders. The team leverages the knowledge shared by previous generations and a purpose-built facility with integrated CNC machines to serve as a go-to custom mold maker for numerous clients from multiple industries. From material handling, construction, and automotive to medical and consumer goods, FGL’s service excellence is sought after globally.

“We specialize in innovative structural foam tooling engineered with aluminium. While others find it an impediment, we see it as our niche, with expertise in deep narrow ribs and aluminium cutting,” says Eli Meisels, Project Manager at FGL Precision Work. “FGL also has in-depth expertise in high-pressure injection tooling.”

FGL’s five decades of experience, coupled with its state-of-the-art facilities and design, engineering, and project management skills, enable it to machine lightweight structural foam molds with high structural integrity.

FGL develops innovative techniques to machine tools with special features (like undercuts and side actions), allowing it to address some of the most pressing challenges in the market. Committed to providing clients with the highest quality product at competitive costs, it adheres to lean operations—a unique differentiator that gives FGL an edge over the competition.

Furthermore, FGL’s mold manufacturing excellence is well-complemented by its client-centric approach to customer onboarding. A typical client engagement at FGL begins with the team understanding their ideas and evaluating the scope to design the product. The company leverages its network of partner design shops to help build a design that optimizes the production performance and quality of customers’ products. FGL ensures that the design is ideal for clients from a functional standpoint while it can be efficiently machined as a high-quality, cost-efficient tool.

In instances where clients approach FGL with a concept design, FGL delivers its expert set of hands in innovative structural foam tooling to bringing the customer concept design to a moldable part. As an example of this process a client approached the FGL team with a relatively new concept for a large compression tool, which was rejected by many other mold shops. FGL assisted them in designing, engineering, and manufacturing their part idea into a highly functional and efficient tool. The client has since evolved into a publicly traded, multi-billion dollar company.

FGL’s ability and willingness to take the hard route and come up with new concepts to make clients’ needs a reality and serve as their most trusted partner. FGL attributes this success to the team, committed to staying on top of market trends and client needs to deliver the best products that fit their unique needs. With a combination of the right knowledge, expertise, and team, FGL is redefining the future of custom mold manufacturing.
