About Cavist
Cavist was incorporated in Reno, Nevada, in 1998 by Danish-born founders Kurt Carlson and Reimer Hansen to bring European low-pressure molding technology to the United States. The company began as an equipment developer, introducing the MoldMan line of low-pressure molding machines, before launching a contract manufacturing division in 2008. In 2023, after 26 years of growth, Cavist transitioned to 100% employee ownership. Today Cavist operates as a contract manufacturer specializing in encapsulating and protecting electronic assemblies. Its core processes include low-pressure molding (LPM), 2-shot overmolding, epoxy overmolding, and cable assembly overmolding, supplemented by turnkey supply services that cover procurement, assembly, testing, and packaging. The 30,000-square-foot facility houses more than 25 injection molding machines and a staff of 35-plus engineers, technicians, and support personnel. Quality systems are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 13485:2016, and the site includes ISO Class 8 cleanrooms for medical device work. The company serves automotive, medical, wearable, and defense markets, with customers ranging from individual inventors to Fortune 500 corporations. Automotive programs include sealing for EV and under-hood electronics; medical projects cover implantable and wearable devices requiring biocompatible materials; defense work addresses ruggedized connectors and cable assemblies for harsh environments. Cavist differentiates itself through 25-plus years of dedicated low-pressure molding experience, in-house moldflow simulation that validates gating and fill before production, and engineering support that begins at the design stage with DFM, material selection, and prototyping. The employee-owned structure is intended to ensure long-term stability and accountability from prototype through high-volume runs.
