Injection moulds and moulded parts from one plant
The C-FORM Group from Kowary, Poland, designs and builds injection moulds, fits them with MasterFlow hot runners and runs series production on presses from 25 to 1000 tonnes. Serving industry across Europe since 2005.

What does a mould cost and how long does it take?
In 2023–2026 a new mould from us cost €3,500–70,000 net (EXW Kowary, euro conversion as a guide), and half of the moulds €7,500–18,000. First T0 samples: after 3–5 weeks for a simple mould, 6–8 for a medium one and 8–12 for a large one, counted from design approval.
One plant, start to finish
From the 3D file to series deliveries, your project never leaves our plant. With two suppliers the mould travels between toolmaker and moulder, and every correction means transport and new arrangements; here the mould designer, toolmaker and moulding technician work under one roof.

Mould design and DFM
The designer checks the part for mouldability, designs the runner and cooling layout and selects the steel. The mould exists in 3D before the first chip is cut.
Performed by:C-FORM
CNC machining area: cores, cavities and mould plates.
2Steel machining
Cores, cavities and plates are made in the same hall: on CNC machining centres, on EDM machines and in a separate grinding department.
Performed by:C-FORM
- Exploded viewAssembled mould
Mould assembly, fitting and service right next to the machine tools.
3Mould assembly
The mould is assembled, fitted and adjusted next to the machine tools. The designer walks over to the machine, so corrections do not wait for a subcontractor.

4MasterFlow hot runner
We fit hot runner systems from MasterFlow of Sweden and build the mould around them. C-TECH, part of our group, is MasterFlow's representative in Poland, so our designers work directly with MasterFlow's engineers.
Performed by:C-TECH + C-FORM
The C-TECH moulding shop in the C-FORM Group plant.
25–1000 t5Trials and series production
The mould is run on presses from 25 to 1000 tonnes in the same plant: T0 and T1 trials, corrections, then series production.
Performed by:C-TECH
A separate grinding department finishes the functional surfaces of the moulds.
6Service and refurbishment
Inspections, repairs and refurbishment by laser welding. The mould stays in our mould store, ready for the next run.

Parts from moulds built in Kowary
Housings, gears, valve bodies, fittings, parts for electrical and ventilation installations. Each of them came out of a mould built in Kowary. Project details stay between us and the client.
Among the companies we have built moulds for
Manufacturers in the electrical equipment, household appliance, ventilation, medical technology and general industrial sectors.
A trade learned in Sweden
In the 1980s Jan Cyganik worked in Swedish plants as a toolmaker and later as an injection mould designer. His sons, Paweł and Przemysław, studied mechanical engineering in Sweden, specialising in polymers. In 2005 they founded C-FORM.
Presses from 25 to 1000 tonnes
A press's clamping force tells you how large a mould it can take and how large a part it can produce. One plant covers the whole range, from small precision parts to large housings.

The mould stays close
Kowary lies in the Giant Mountains, near the Czech border. Prague, Dresden and Wrocław are close enough for a one-day service trip. Corrections, service and repeat runs without shipping the mould halfway around the world.

Moulds with MasterFlow hot runners
We design hot runner moulds with MasterFlow systems, trial them on our own presses and service them in our plant. MasterFlow is a family-owned Swedish company that has made hot runners since 1981. C-TECH, part of the C-FORM Group, represents MasterFlow in Poland.

Frequently asked questions
What do you need to quote a mould?
Ideally a 3D model of the part (STEP, IGES or Parasolid) and a drawing with tolerances. Add the material, annual volume and your deadline. If anything is missing, we will ask.
Do you also produce the moulded parts?
Yes. Series production is run by C-TECH, part of the C-FORM Group, in the same plant in Kowary, on presses with clamping forces from 25 to 1000 tonnes.
Do you build moulds with hot runners?
Yes. We build hot runner moulds with systems from MasterFlow of Sweden. C-TECH, part of the C-FORM Group, is MasterFlow's representative in Poland; outside Poland, MasterFlow sells its systems directly and through local partners.
Do you repair moulds built by other toolmakers?
Describe the mould and the problem, and attach photos or documentation. We will tell you whether and to what extent we can repair or modify it.
Who do I sign the contract with?
Moulds, mould service (including laser welding) and CNC machining are provided by C-FORM Sp. z o.o.; moulding, assembly and packing by C-TECH Sp. z o.o., which is also MasterFlow's representative in Poland. Every service on this website carries a plate with the company's name. You have one contact.
Where is the plant and can I visit?
The plant is at ul. Zamkowa 9 in Kowary, Poland. Call +48 75 718 24 18 or send us an e-mail to arrange a visit.
Have a part to mould?
Send us a 3D model (STEP, IGES or Parasolid) or a PDF drawing. A mould designer will reply with questions or a quotation within 2–4 working days. On request, we sign an NDA first.
