A leading manufacturer of molded auto parts and subassemblies was in a tough spot. Its client – a top global automotive OEM – demanded high-quality parts for its highly engineered performance vehicles.  The auto parts maker reached out to Avient, which was already was providing it with specialty materials.

Which materials deliver lightweight, durable and aesthetically pleasing options for design engineers looking for better ways to build next generation cars? Auto-injectors and Drug Delivery Pens Aftermarket Parts

For a specialty auto parts molder, peak demand from a customer presented a real dilemma.  By rethinking its approach to making the radiator shrouds, the auto parts molder was able to increase production capacity and improve part quality without expensive new investments in tooling or machinery. Since making the change with its radiator hoods, the specialty auto parts molder has expanded its use of OnCap CTR to several additional parts, further boosting its production and competitive edge without system increasing costs.
