Used Fostag Molds & Product Lines for Sale

Fostag Formenbau AG traces its origins to 1955, when brothers Bruno and Hans Segmüller established a mold-making company in Wagenhausen, Switzerland. The business relocated to Stein am Rhein, was later rebranded as Fostag Formenbau AG, and grew steadily through successive expansions of its production facility. A management buy-in by brothers Markus and Rolf Mühlemann brought renewed focus on product and technology innovation, and the company has since filed over 100 patents protecting its proprietary tooling systems.

Fostag's flagship product lines are high-cavity injection molds for closures, thin-wall packaging, and medical components. The closure mold range is particularly well regarded in the beverage packaging industry, with multi-cavity tools engineered for standard neck finishes such as PCO 1810 and PCO 1881 — common 28 mm thread standards used globally for carbonated and still beverage bottles. Alongside closure molds, Fostag produces stack molds and multi-component tools for food packaging and cutlery, and has developed proprietary hot runner technologies including its patented co-injection hot runner, PVC full hot runner system, and the InMedio core centering system for eliminating core shift in demanding cavities.

Fostag molds serve end markets that demand the tightest tolerances and highest output rates: beverage and food packaging producers relying on high-cavity closure tools, medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers requiring precision molds for syringes, blood tubes, pipette tips, auto-injectors, and safety closures, and specialty packaging converters working with barrier capsules and multi-component products. The company's tools are used in production facilities across more than 50 countries worldwide.

Buyers seeking used Fostag closure molds and packaging molds on the secondary market are drawn by the tooling's reputation for extremely long service life, 100% interchangeable mold baseplates and inserts, and the short cycle times that protect throughput economics even as a mold ages. The Swiss-engineered build quality means cavitation counts and dimensional tolerances hold up well over millions of shots, making a pre-owned Fostag closure mold a cost-effective route into high-volume cap production without the lead time or capital outlay of a new tool.
