When we took delivery of the world's largest horizontal co-injection machine last year, we realized that we'd have to start thinking big. At 6600 ton and with the potential of producing nearly 100 pound parts, well, we started thinking real big. Naturally we thought of the Heavy Truck industry.

Heavy Truck has been a world leader in the conversion of metal to plastics, particularly in the transportation industry. Up until now, however, we think your style may have been cramped a little. You see the advantages of injection molding around you every day. Wire management, air flow direction, built in bosses, snap together fit-ups, molded-in-color, lighter weight, corrosion, chemical and impact resistance, Class A surfaces - but, all in such small parts! Until now.

With the ability to produce products in excess of 20 square feet many of your design constraints have melted away. And remember, this is not just injection molding, it's co-injection. Not only can you now design in many labor or cost saving ideas, you may have the luxury of using some of the finest engineering grade thermoplastics on the market. Why? Because those formerly cost prohibitive plastics now form only a portion of your injection molded part. Aesthetically off-spec or regrind materials can make up the rest serving as the "core" of the part, whereas only the "skin" needs to be the expensive material. Even more, do you want to take weight out of your parts? Consider foaming the core material. Think of it as structural foam with a Class A finish. With the patent already applied for, it is one of the technologies only available from us. With over 37,000 grades of plastics on the market, your choices haven't merely doubled; they have become virtually infinite!

In extrusions, our technologies in bending, shaping, punching, and forming have produced products that look more injection molded than extruded. No need to think of a single material here either. Our co- and multi-extrusions serve many markets already. With technology licensed from Dow, we're able to make a wide variety of profiles that not only meet the flexural modulus of aluminum, they exceed it - and once bent, they bounce right back. And there's no need to paint them, just pick your extruded-in color. We've matched thousands over the years.

This is only the tip of the plastic technology iceberg. There's so much more. Give us a call.

We're here to help.
