Rapid injection molding is one of the key ways that American manufacturers have risen to the challenges of today\u2019s global supply chain.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no secret that most plastic products are made in China. Traditionally, when customers thought of molded plastics, Chinese manufacturing is what would come to mind by default. The \u201cMade in the USA\u201d stamp of approval often seemed all but absent from an increasingly large sector of the manufacturing realm \u2013 at least in automotive<\/a> parts and consumer product<\/a> spaces.<\/p>\n However, with today\u2019s rapid injection molding technology and the ongoing trend of onshoring, more and more of our plastic products are produced right here at home \u2013 Shelby Township, Michigan, in the case of Elite Mold & Engineering.<\/p>\n From the critical plastic devices that some people literally depend on to the everyday gadgets that almost everyone uses, rapid injection molding helps our nation meet its market demand without purchasing from overseas, thus avoiding potential disruptions within the international supply chain.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.teameliteonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/cavity-angle.jpg” alt=”Cavity Angle” title_text=”cavity angle” _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”400px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n You can generally work much more directly, efficiently, and effectively with American manufacturers compared to our overseas counterparts. In part that\u2019s due to proximity, as well as the lack of language barriers. In either case, we provide a more timely and reliable source for your products by carefully setting up the production process and sticking to schedule.<\/p>\n Of course, constant communication and collaboration are key \u2013 especially in the early stages of your injection molding project when the process is still being fine-tuned and established. At Elite, we pride ourselves on responsive communication and customer service to make sure you get the exact products you want when you need them.<\/p>\n Speaking of ensuring your products are delivered on time, our products ship straight from the heart of Michigan rather than across the ocean. That means you avoid the cost and logistical complexity of international shipping \u2013 not to mention the higher potential of shipping delays and canceled orders.<\/p>\n With rapid injection molding for prototypes<\/a> or low-volume projects<\/a>, we can cut the turnaround time down even further and have your products delivered in record time.<\/p>\n Succeeding in today\u2019s market exceedingly requires lean manufacturing for better efficiency. Many American vendors simply can\u2019t rely upon offshore manufacturers due to the extended turnaround times \u2013 not to mention the volume requirements needed to make the project economical, and all the logistics that comes along with higher inventory.<\/p>\nRapid Injection Molding (RIM) Supports the American Supply Chain:<\/h2>\n
