Accumold Inc. held up as Iowa success story

Nov. 11, 2011—Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad hailed Accumold Inc., Ankeny, Iowa, as a "home-grown" success story during a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the micromolding company's 44,000-square-foot facility. The expansion, which cost $7 million, creates 43 new jobs, according to a company news release.

The five-term governor added, “I want to make sure Accumold’s story is an inspiration to established and start-up companies all across our state as we work toward our 5-year goal of creating 200,000 jobs so we can provide the best job opportunities for Iowans.”

Founded in 1985, Accumold produces micro-scale, ultra-precision, plastic-injection-molded parts using specialized molding machines engineered to handle volumes from prototypes to millions per year while maintaining consistent, precise tolerances that are unique in the industry.
