Case Studies

Results Speak Volumes.

Every case is a material problem solved - cost pressure, spec compliance, supply chain fragility. Here's how we've done it.

Automotive Cost Reduction

18% Material Cost Reduction for Injection Molder

A Tier-2 automotive supplier was running HDPE-HMW for a complex underhood application. Our material assessment identified a PP-HMW copo with a 15% lower material cost and equivalent impact strength at processing temps. Qualification took 6 weeks.

FDA-Compliant Compound in 3 Runs

A medical device manufacturer needed a custom PP compound with antistatic and slip additives that would pass FDA 21 CFR testing. We formulated, sampled, and iterated to a passing compound in three production runs - 11 business days start to approval.

Single-Source to 5-Supplier Network in 90 Days

A custom molder was 100% dependent on one offshore PVC supplier, which created pricing volatility and occasional stockouts. We mapped 5 qualified alternates across 3 grades with validated performance equivalency. Lead time exposure dropped from 8 weeks to 2.

Pantone-Accurate Color in 2 Batch Trials

A consumer goods brand needed Pantone 485 C in a PP co-polymer for a seasonal packaging run - 20,000 lb minimum - with a 6-week delivery window. We color-matched, ran two trial batches, and delivered approved product in week 5.
