The New PolyOne: A Specialty Growth Company
Why Invest In PolyOne?
https://www.avient.com/idea/tier-1-auto-supplier-saves-supply-chain-expansion
The supplier molds two housing components using a 20 percent talc-filled polypropylene — one for the HVAC parts and one for the blower motor — then assembles all of the components to produce a single module.
A team of engineers from the supplier and the OEM met with Avient experts to look at possible polypropylene options.
Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.
