Description
This book won't tell you how to design and build a better mold or mold a better part-it can only guide you toward those objectives. What it will do is exactly what the title says: tell you about The Business of Injection Molding.
The plastics market is flooded with technical books on all aspects of part design, mold design, processing techniques, material types and specifications, and other technical informa- tion. This is the first book to address a neglected side of our industry-the business side.
Running a successful custom molding operation is more than just being able to make a good mold and mold a good part. One must know the business aspects of the industry, out- side a plant as well as inside. What trends are affecting the industry? What are the markets being served doing? What are competitors up to? Investors and owners of companies in other industries who are intrigued by the financial potential offered by injection molding suggest that a lack of attention to business in general is catching up with the industry, damaging even some of the best operations.
