Domestic manufacturing promotes self-reliance, reduces dependency on foreign suppliers, safeguards sensitive technologies and ensures a reliable supply chain during times of crisis. Producing molds in the U.S. offers numerous benefits to plastics processors as well as our country. There are many well-established mold builders throughout the country that can help meet your needs.

Structural foam and plastic injection molding are both widely used to manufacture plastic parts. Each method has its advantages, and deciding between them depends on factors specific to the part, including design, production volume, cost considerations, and material properties. Learn more about the benefits of structural foam molding to see if this is the right process for your product. #structuralfoammolding

Manufacturers are at the forefront of innovation, constantly seeking ways to enhance efficiency, productivity, and overall performance. One invaluable tool MSI Mold Builder’s is leveraging to achieve its goals is #benchmarking data. 📊 Benchmarking allows us to compare their processes, practices, and outcomes against industry standards and best practices. By analyzing this data, we gain valuable insights into areas where we excel and those ripe for improvement. Our own Kyle Klouda provided more insights on #benchmarking in SME's Manufacturing Engineering magazine - https://lnkd.in/eTHmxcdr

Proud of our team and their accomplishments. Another example of our dedication to our customers and our extensive mold building capabilities.
I am continually impressed by the incredible work accomplished by our team at MSI. Although MSI stands for Manufacturing Specialties Incorporated, my grandfather always said it stood for Many Special Individuals. Last week, in our IA facility we successfully fit a 200,000 pound mold before it was disassembled for final machining processes. Our dedicated employees' long hours made this possible, helping us remain our customers' competitive advantage. If you're attending NPE in a few weeks and would like to discuss how we can help you achieve your competitive advantage, please reach out to me to schedule a meeting. #NPE2024
