Lowering injection moulding costs in E Europe
To help UK businesses compete in their markets a company has invested a considerable amount of time investigating an opportunity closer to home in the 'new economies' of Eastern Europe.
Invest in the future of injection moulding
Well trained staff give high standards of work, they understand what is important and can be relied upon to do the right things at all times which cuts mistakes and lowers costs.
The preparation and evaluation process took place at the same time as AKI was introducing a new clean room operation for a new customer, so the success was a double bonus.
Biotrace International, part of the 3M Group, recently turned to AKI for a two shot injection moulded clear polypropylene component.
Biotrace is acknowledged as the leading global brand in rapid hygiene monitoring.
Their systems offer rapid, simple and reliable solutions for verifying cleanliness or measuring microbial contamination in diverse areas such as food production/preparation, environmental and industrial processes or healthcare facilities.
To achieve the necessary component specification a cleanroom manufacturing facility was required.
AKI have built a dedicated manufacturing cell for Biotrace which includes an Arburg 470C 1500-350 two shot injection moulding machine as the component also requires a moulded-in TPE seal.
Joint Managing Director Keith Williams was delighted.
"To have succeeded in achieving this quality standard while introducing new products and maintaining production levels put everyone under pressure but the whole team at AKI gave their 100% support and demonstrated, once again, why AKI continues to be successful".
