Avient helped the customer calculate costs for the 12-month period. Projections showed the cost of a new tool would be recouped within months, enabling the manufacturer to move forward with confidence. Even after the cost of the new tooling, the company will save about $72,000 the first year, an impressive and rapid return on the investment in new tooling.

The design team had two objectives: improve vibration damping performance of the boot to deliver a better user experience, and streamline manufacturing of the part to reduce system costs. The company foresaw that integrating this step into the molding process for the saw housing would cut assembly time and overall costs.  Avient gathered detailed data from this customer’s production facility in Mexico and helped them calculate and compare the costs of the two solutions.

That saved the company $70,000 a year in direct manufacturing costs. Reduced freight costs: The lower specific gravity of TPEs versus thermoset silicone rubber cut the overall part weight by 20 percent. That reduced associated freight costs by $36,000 a year.

This reduction in energy consumption can not only cut costs, but it can also lower the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. Cost / Value Conundrum: The preform manufacturer often incurs the cost of a process aid while the blow molder realizes the benefits.  Increased Efficiencies at the Blower: By specifying these process aids, brands can help bottle blowers achieve higher efficiencies, reducing production costs and improving overall sustainability.

This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation costs and associated recoveries, mark-to-market adjustments on pension and other postretirement obligations, acquisition-related charges, and other non-routine costs. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; demand for our products and services; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; our ability to service our indebtedness and restrictions on our current and future operations due to our indebtedness; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation, geopolitical conflicts and any recessionary conditions.

Key performance advantages include: Lower Total System and Lifecycle Cost: With an expected service life of up to 80 years, GridCore poles are developed for resilience. The extended lifecycle can result in overall cost savings compared to wood poles, which require replacement every 30-40 years due to aging, damage, or failure. Lower Total System & Lifecycle Cost

They offer high design flexibility, multi-function integration, size miniaturization and weight reduction to meet demanding manufacturing requirements without compromising production efficiency and cost. Reduced initial part cost and production cost
