Manufacturing done right reduces friction in your supply chain and delivers high-quality components that match your original design specifications. Whether in essential consumer products or advanced aerospace components, plastics are everywhere — and vital, too. Choosing the right partner among injection molding solution companies is key to achieving success at every phase of a project, from design and prototyping to manufacturing, quality control, and more.
At Reliant, we have more than 50 years of experience in plastic injection molding and have remained at the cutting edge of modern molding solutions. Continuous investments in innovation are a crucial component of how we do business. Each of our clients has unique needs, and we see every partnership as an opportunity to use our skills to support those needs while designing an ideal solution.
Going beyond just using high-quality materials, we distinguish our work from others within the industry by offering businesses many advantages. When you partner with Reliant for manufacturing customized or complex plastic parts and assemblies, you get access to the insight necessary to understand the industry and its capabilities. Ahead, we break it all down.
Your Guide to Understanding Industrial Molding and Manufacturing
There’s more complexity underpinning the molding industry than meets the eye. Manufacturing methods continue to change as technology advances and the pursuit of even better results continues. For example, today’s “scientific molding” processes represent a step forward from more traditional injection manufacturing. Scientific injection molding is a newer approach that refers to the way molten plastic enters and fills molds based on intensive research and testing.
At its most basic, molding is all about repeatedly using a high-volume production process to produce the same design. It’s ideal for products that need specific characteristics or physical properties. Modern insert molding solutions also open the door to more complex and multi-material items. Many companies see injection molding as a clear winner for achieving volume and consistency. However, selecting the appropriate manufacturing method is just one piece of the puzzle.
Picking the appropriate thermoplastics, creating or maintaining tooling, and sourcing products to meet tight delivery timelines are also key elements. What about projects that require keeping multiple components together in a kit for later assembly? There are many elements to streamline and questions to answer as you search for the best injection molding solution.
At Reliant Plastics, we offer a clear and accessible understanding of the state of the industry — and we back it up with the capabilities to achieve your project goals.
The Core Advantages of a Partnership With Reliant Plastics
For an industry centered on cashing and creating many iterations of a single design, ironically, no two companies approach the work in the same way. There are several ways that our manufacturing and techniques stand out from the competition.
Cutting-Edge Machinery
We possess an impressive array of machines that can handle nearly any size injection molding design. Our 34 machines, ranging from 38 to 950 tons, accommodate every job specification. Additionally, we continue to invest in new and more advanced hardware, including a recent purchase of four cutting-edge Milacron molding machines. Whether you need to produce an individual component or full-size product directly from a mold, our machines are up to the task.
Top-Notch Technology
Our research and development team stays up to date on the latest technologies related to injection molding. Every year, scientists improve the craft in subtle or exciting ways. We task our team with adapting these technologies into our production line and developing new injection molding solutions that put them to the best possible use.
Efficient Timelines
Efficiency always characterizes our work. We strive to find the most cost-effective and efficient way to complete your order in every circumstance. As a result, we get the job done more swiftly without compromising quality.
A Standard of Excellence
We focus on excellence in initial production, quality control, and high-value secondary operations, including finishing and insert molding.
Supporting Your Projects With Strategic Thinking and Innovation
The manufacturing industry has relied on the advantages of injection molding technology for many decades. However, there are significant differences in manufacturing techniques today compared to the methods used decades ago. In the past, plastic was often seen as a cheap alternative both economically and, unfortunately, qualitatively. Today, though, it’s different.
The most advanced techniques make molded products as effective and robust as aluminum and other metal components. Industries that once turned to aluminum for lightweight solutions now see a new demand for metal-to-plastic conversions. Anticipating and witnessing this change, Reliant adapted and offered a strategic advantage to our partners. Today, our partners can use our thermoplastic designs to halve metal components’ weight without losing support or durability.
Injection molding technology also offers more cost-effective ways to produce unique products and components you would otherwise have difficulty finding. The ideal component you need to complete your work often doesn’t exist yet. Reliant shines the most in such situations that demand bespoke design. When you work with us, we’ll help you create affordable components that let you do precisely what your customers need.
