Transfer Existing Molds for Knobs

Case Study – Transfer Existing Molds for Knobs

A local company, not currently a Klann Plastics customer, was unhappy with its current vendor, who was often unable to meet quick turnaround and emergency deliveries of its molded knobs. They were looking for someone who could help them out of a bind.

Once we verified that the company's existing molds would fit in our equipment, the molds were delivered to us along with an initial supply of resin.

Klann was able to clean the molds, ensure the customer's inspection criteria were being met, and deliver a partial fulfillment within 3 days. On subsequent orders, we were able to offer better pricing because of our superior buying power on this raw material.
