PET tooling specialist to move to larger facility
Global PET tooling specialist R and D Tool and Engineering have confirmed that their UK operation will be relocating to a larger purpose-built facility in July 2006.
Some of R and D's clients call off over 1,000 blow moulds per year and the operational focus for R and D's blow moulds business is to deliver and commission tools so as to enable their clients to fulfil launch programmes.
With the need for high mould quality taken as a given, schedule adherence for mould programmes ranks alongside the need for competitive costs as key measurables for R and D's blow mould customers.
With regard to design, R and D has always offered a full service from design to commissioning.
Rather than just highlighting design feasibility issues, R and D now offer Design Audits and Lightweighting Audits to evaluate concepts, designs, preforms and products so as to identify ways to enhance functionality and appearance of products and reduce operational costs and many clients now involve R and D at a concept stage often in advance of selection of processors due to their open-minded approach.
