About Innovative Injection Tech
Innovative Injection Tech (i2-tech) was founded in 1960 in West Des Moines, Iowa, initially producing fishing lures for the Lazy Ike company. The business remains headquartered in West Des Moines and has grown into a large-part injection molding specialist. The company operates a 24/7 facility with more than 200 employees and 11 presses exceeding 1,000 tons of clamp force, the largest being a 4,400-ton Engel machine with a 654-ounce barrel. It produces highly cosmetic, molded-in-color sub-assemblies weighing up to 45 pounds, such as ATV bumpers, personal watercraft hoods, and UTV fenders. Molds are built and sampled at a dedicated tooling facility in Shenzhen, China, using German steel, with final part approval completed in Iowa. The shop also offers scientific injection molding, mold transfer programs, rapid prototyping via a Stratasys 3D printer, and in-house engineering support. i2-tech serves agricultural, industrial, automotive (including tier‑1 suppliers), construction, medical, and recreational‑vehicle markets. Customers range from OEMs needing large, tight‑tolerance components to brands requiring turnkey contract manufacturing and sub‑assembly. The firm cites its combination of technical expertise, a strong balance sheet, and a round‑the‑clock workforce as its competitive advantage, emphasizing a culture built on trust, respect, and community involvement.
