Customers are guided through a color development process at the earliest stages of their product development to establish high-impact colors for their brands, helping accelerate time to market. Brand owners and marketers can draw inspiration from this tool to develop appliances that will be more attractive to consumers. Avient also developed a series of new solutions that allow the incorporation of higher recycled polymer content in the final article.

When you work with us, our experts can provide you with additional resources and value-added services that expand your product development and manufacturing capabilities. They use an onsite collaborative approach to accelerate and streamline the product development process, from initial consultation through the translation of ideas into colors, shapes or effects. Services include: • New product development • Color, Material & Finish (CMF) development and design • Circular design for sustainability • Rapid prototyping • 3D visualization Ready to learn more?

They also provided local support during the sampling process, which helped speed testing and development time for Victorinox. THE IMPACT With our support, Victorinox was enabled to do what it does best—develop and manufacture high-quality tools that meet both military and consumer needs. Avient provided product development assistance and testing, and ultimately delivered customized materials that met strict requirements for durability.

THE CHALLENGE A global leader (“OEM”) in personal care products was developing its first entry into the Patient Mobility market and was looking for ways to gain a competitive edge and offer superior value to its customers. Avient has compiled extensive data that enabled the OEM to shave weeks off the product development timeline and save nearly $50,000 in potential antimicrobial product protection testing fees. The resulting Smartbatch solution was developed specifically for the OEM’s patient mobility product, but was so effective that the OEM has plans to incorporate this technology into additional devices currently being developed.
