A quarter of a century of Servomold
25 successful years as a specialist in the development of injection mould solutions is not
something you celebrate every day. The Servomold team uses this special occasion for a
small but nice summer party with employees and relatives, which takes place on the
company premises in Erbach. Surely one or the other guest will also remember the very
early beginnings on this day:
In May 1998, Bianca and Thomas Meister founded Exacon Verwaltungs GmbH and offered
services related to the design and development of injection moulds from their home in
Hiltersklingen in the Odenwald. Still under their management today, the company now has
28 employees and is one of the world's most innovative and efficient developers,
manufacturers and suppliers of servo systems for injection moulding.
Changes show the way
The fact that progress and change often go hand in hand is shown by a series of changes of
location and name that have accompanied the development from the sparsely equipped but
highly skilled "cellar child" of the early days to its current status. The foundation was
followed as early as 1999 by the development and patenting of the tunnel gate inserts, the
founding of Exaflow GmbH & Co. KG and the move to larger premises in Groß-Umstadt. With
the change of name to i-mold GmbH & Co. KG and the next move to Brensbach, which was
again due to the lack of space, the distribution of hot runner systems also started in 2004.
Five years later, the company moved on to Michelstadt. There, in 2011, Thomas Meister
founded Servomold GmbH & Co. KG, whose innovative systems for servo-electric
automation of linear and rotating movements in the injection mould were initially integrated
into the i-mold product portfolio.
2016 was finally the starting point for the construction of the current, spacious company
building on the outskirts of Erbach. 620 m² of office space, including seven CAD
workstations, now provide a modern working environment for the employees in
development, quality assurance, sales and administration. The production hall with its own
machine tools serves to support external partners and shorten delivery times.
In the years that followed, Servomold initially remained merely the brand name of the
innovative product line. This changed fundamentally in 2022, after it became clear to
Thomas Meister that the future lay and would continue to lie in servo automation. The consequence was the change of name from i-mold to Servomold GmbH & Co. KG.
Continuously towards the future
Today, we are happy with the result that the long road and its twists and turns have led to. Because our role as an innovator in the industry and the successes associated with it ultimately run continuously through Servomold's history like a red thread and create excellent prospects for tomorrow's developments, which our talented and committed employees are already working on today.
