Plastic consumer goods are seeing a steady increase in the use of multi-component processes. More and more, traditional materials (such as wood, glass and metal) are being replaced by high quality plastics. In the use of plastics for consumer goods there is a trend toward the manufacture of movable parts using incompatible materials. Time-consuming installation and assembly tasks are thus avoided which allows manufacturers to realize dramatic reductions in part costs. The broad spectrum of products offered by Ferromatik Milacron with its multi-component machines in the MAXIMA, ELEKTRA and K-TEC series offer manufacturers tremendous flexibility and the means to cut costs while boosting productivity.
