Consumer Injection Molding Experts
Consumers expect affordable products that perform as needed, when needed. Consumer market OEMs need to consistently deliver on product promises or risk their reputation and growth. Used for everything from basic personal care items to intricate applications such as household garbage disposal or faucet assemblies, injection-molded parts are necessary — and the right injection molding partner is essential.
How Proven Injection Molders Benefit Consumer Market OEMs
As in all other markets, quality is key for consumer market OEMs. However, aligning quality with performance must be done at a reasonable cost, or the market generally won’t bear the price point. Sensitivities around the economy cause consumer purchase confidence to ebb and flow.
These reasons drive consumer market OEM decisions about suppliers. Injection molding partners must be flexible enough to accommodate volume changes in demand, yet disciplined in structured lead times and meeting product launch deadlines — all within an often strict budget.
Injection molders with diverse capabilities provide expertise and value that correspond with the competing priorities consumer market OEMs face. Experience matters. Specialization in sophisticated modeling programs and methodologies such as Design for Manufacturability (DfM), as well as strategic use of advanced processes like overmolding, and metal-to-plastic conversion help get stronger, better performing, and less expensive products to market faster.
