Our new Two-shot capabilities were initially implemented for a specific client. This says a lot about Chemtech's reputation. We often aquire new clients when other suppliers fall short in meeting the challenges of client needs. In fact, the previous molder used 6 different operations producing this component. Our experience told us that retooling this project along with an investment in our two shot machine would yield exceptional results. This component is now produced in one operation eliminating the costly hand assembly, and minimizing the possiblitiy of errors.
Chemtech is distinct in that we welcome you to bring us your most difficult components we are willing to reinvest in technology to help our business partners succeed. Some might think that in this economy, putting new equipment on our floor was a substantial risk. We know we have the resources, and after meeting with our engineers, we came up with an excellent solution. Every one of our engineers came off the bench. It was the being able to rely on their experience that solved this production challenge. Our next step was to meet with our APQP team. This is where we combine that experience and create projected workflows with data from similar projects. After formulating a workflow process that would exceed our clients expectations, we then refined and finalized that plan to meet our clients budget. Acquiring the Two-Shot has been similar to any other challenge Chemtech has undertaken. We looked at it with an understanding that only comes with experience and a level of confidence that only comes from a long history of successful undertakings.
With an initial success in place for our client, and production of their component in full swing, we are looking at both expanding our production capabilities as well as applying these benefits to our existing partners. These benefits Include:
- Molding two different materials in one operation
- Chemically bonding those materials making a higher quality product
- Expanded our scope of capability to produce specialty parts.
- Compound operations eliminating handwo
