Accumold’s Growth Sparks Opportunity at May 9 Job Fair

Accumold’s story has always been one of precision, innovation and forward momentum—and that momentum is now creating new opportunities for the local workforce. On Saturday, May 9, 2026 from 8 a.m. to Noon, Accumold will host a Job Fair designed to connect qualified candidates with a wide range of open positions created due to the companies growth.

Sustaining a Manufacturing Workforce in Greater Des Moines

The Job Fair is a direct result from a period of sustained expansion for Accumold, driven by shifts occurring across advanced manufacturing and medical technology. As medical devices continue to shrink in size, manufacturers are being challenged to do more within increasingly smaller spaces. They are packing more functionality into components that must meet exacting performance and quality standards. Accumold’s specialization in micro molding positions the company at the center of this trend, supporting customers who are redesigning components to be smaller, lighter and more advanced than ever before.

At the same time, Accumold is seeing a positive increase in demand as customers choose to reshore production. Manufacturers are bringing work back to the United States, either by adding a second-source supplier or transitioning to a single-source domestic partner. This shift has increased the need for reliable, high-precision manufacturing partners. Accumold’s expertise, consistency and technical capability continue to make it a trusted choice.

As customer demand grows, so does the need for skilled, motivated employees. The May 9 Job Fair is designed to attract candidates across experience levels, from entry-level applicants and recent high school or college graduates to experienced professionals and individuals looking for a career change. Full-time, part-time and seasonal roles are available across all shifts, with many positions offering 12-hour schedules.
 

Explore Career Paths in Advanced Manufacturing

Walk-ins are encouraged, and no appointment is required. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Accumold’s open positions, meet directly with hiring managers and Human Resources representatives and participate in on-the-spot interviews. The event also provides a chance to explore long-term career paths within advanced manufacturing, an industry that continues to play a critical role in Iowa’s economy.
 
Candidates are encouraged to apply online prior to attending the Job Fair to streamline the check-in process, though onsite assistance will be available for those who need help completing an application. Accumold welcomes applicants interested in hands-on manufacturing, automation, quality, engineering support and technical roles that contribute to producing some of the smallest and most complex plastic components in the world.
 
Beyond filling open roles, the Job Fair underscores Accumold’s continued investment in workforce development. The company remains committed to building careers, not just jobs, by providing training, advancement opportunities and a stable work environment in a fast-evolving industry. As advanced manufacturing continues to innovate, Accumold is growing alongside it, ensuring its workforce has opportunities to grow as well.
