Knowledgeable Solutions...
A customer came to us for our experience and advice on a slip stick issue they were having with a current application. Our solution was to install a lubricated plug into their part to stop the slip stick. Our knowledgeable staff has years of experience and up to date training to help you find a solution to your most challenging plastic applications.
Metal Replacement...
Customers are always comparing the costs of various materials to find the best material for their applications at the least expensive cost. This customer came to us with a metal part that was continually being abused from impact and corrosion. We discussed the application and are now supplying a UHMW part in replacement for their steel part. If there is a plastic material that will suit your needs, LVP can help you find that solution.
Cost Reduction...
We noticed that these machined parts were being ordered at very high quantities making them good candidates for injection molding. We presented the information to our customer who is now experiencing considerable cost savings due to this process change. LVP will work with you to continuously improve their process and suggest cost saving ideas where applicable.
Unsure of what material to use?
With the ever-expanding growth in plastic consumption LVP stays up-to-date with new materials being made available in stock shapes and molding resins. We are prepared to use all the resources available to help you find the best material for your demanding applications. Our team of experienced professionals is able to help you find solutions to your plastic design challenges.
Can LVP save you money?
The answer to this question is emphatically “YES”. Today’s engineering challenge is to come up with ways to build complex products faster and of course, at a lower overall production cost. At LVP, we work closely with engineers and designers to help them stay ahead of the competition.
