Working
closely with the producer, the Avient team recommended
customizing a high density, engineered material
formulation as an alternative to metal.
THE IMPACT
The closure producer’s team switched to Gravi-Tech
material, and immediately logged a 35% cost savings
due to lower material and processing costs.
