THE SOLUTION Avient proactively worked with Bettcher’s product development team to fully understand the yoke specifications to help ensure end-product quality would remain unparalleled in the market. THE IMPACT At its core, the goal of re-engineering the motor yoke was to maintain quality, durability and strength while reducing weight and lowering costs. An injection molded solution, Complēt offered Bettcher Industries faster, single-step production with repeatable quality that enabled them to drive down overall production costs.

Acqua Plose needed a cap that would maintain their highest standards of water quality, seal integrity and sustainability. THE IMPACT Caps made by closurelogic with Avient’s low migration cap liner technology preserve water quality while ensuring seal integrity. Brand owners are seeking more easily recycled materials, such as aluminum, and closurelogic’s use of TPE cap liners satisfy all three challenges—water quality, seal integrity and sustainability.

It soon became clear that any advantage gleaned from the supplier’s location was offset by its inability to consistently monitor output quality. THE SOLUTION When the cable manufacturer reached out to Avient for a solution, its polymer science experts teamed up with the manufacturer to review quality standards, manufacturing practices, and the cable performance its customers required. Combined, these improvements enabled the company to compete on quality and operate profitably while gaining new business.

And depending on the product, fog may lead to an actual reduction in quality and to spoilage.

This, in turn, keeps food attractive to consumers for longer durations, and can also help maintain food quality by minimizing spoilage.
