More than 25 years ago, Gordon and Jeff tried to develop a commercially viable, molded composite outer sole for a running shoe using carbon fiber and fiberglass composites. Using the lessons learned from the outer sole development, Gordon and Jeff set out to find a fiberglass-reinforced material for the shoe insole application that embodied the energy-returning effects of carbon fiber while also demonstrating the flexibility needed to preserve and support the body and muscles of the runner. Working with Avient, Gordon and Jeff developed the patent-pending FlexSpring™ insole using a tri-ply unidirectional fiberglass laminate, combined with neoprene foam sheet material, and die-cut to shape.

HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard black color. Avient’s team provided a variety of value- added technical services, including assistance with tool development, process optimization and testing. Design flexibility = fast customization: Plastic offers much greater design freedom than metal, enabling the company to quickly develop and produce variations of the seat securement part for different customers
