FAQ
Q: What is the difference between 2K, two-shot, and bi-injection molds?
A: These terms refer to the same process: molding two materials or colors in a single mold cycle. In Europe it is often called bi-injection or 2-component (2C) molding; in Asia, double injection or 2K. Howmin has built 2K, 3K, and 4K multi-shot molds for automotive lamps since 1994.
Q: Where is Howmin located?
A: Our factory is in the Fengtian Industrial Area, Dapi Township,
Yunlin County, Taiwan—about 1 hour from Taichung and 2.5 hours from Taoyuan International Airport. Factory visits are welcome.
Q: Does Howmin export molds overseas?
A: Yes. Our molds are export-ready and shipped under FOB Taiwan terms
with ISPM-15 compliant packaging.
