What industries use plastics most often?

Plastics are so ubiquitous today that it might be better to ask, “What industries don’t use plastics?” Nevertheless, some sectors have a much deeper and larger relationship with plastic manufacturing than others. Some of the most notable areas include:

Automotive and aerospace manufacturing
Health care and medical device creation
Food and product packaging
Consumer product design

Today, many industries have begun looking into new ways to take advantage of “eco-friendly” plastics, including advanced bioplastics. At Reliant, we remain up to date on all the most common and emerging materials to provide our partners with a wide range of thermoplastic solutions.

Is plastic production economically beneficial?

Plastics are a high-value industry, but adopting or transitioning to plastics can have important economic benefits for individual companies. For example, when transitioning toward a lighter-weight product, replacing metal components with durable and heavy-duty plastics can save substantial money over a production run. There are many ways businesses can leverage the benefits of plastics for a better bottom line.

How is Reliant different from other manufacturers?

The Reliant differences lie in several key areas: our location, experience, and proven track record. Each of these lends us unique strengths that position us well to support our partners.
