Niebling GmbH, founded in 1984 and headquartered in Penzberg near Munich, is a pioneer in high-pressure forming (HPF) technologies and film-insert moulding (FIM), including in-mould decoration (IMD) and in-mould electronics (IME) for complex 3D functional parts. With over 30 years of experience, they deliver precision, repeatability, and scalability across film forming and integrated automation.
The HPF process enables the thermoforming of thin polymer films under high pressure, allowing the creation of intricate, highly detailed three-dimensional shapes with exceptional surface quality and dimensional accuracy. This process is ideally suited for Film Insert Moulding (FIM) and In-Mould Decoration (IMD) applications, where decorative or functional films are formed and integrated directly into injection moulded parts, providing durable, high-quality surfaces with complex geometries.
Further advancing this technology, Niebling’s expertise in In-Mould Electronics (IME) integrates printed electronic circuits directly into these 3D formed films, enabling the production of smart, interactive components such as capacitive touch sensors, lighting elements, and other functional electronics embedded within automotive interiors, consumer electronics, and medical devices.
