80% OF A PART’S COST IS DETERMINED BY THE DESIGN

In addition to determining 80% of a plastic injection molded part’s cost, the design impacts quality, reliability, functionality, serviceability and manufacturability. It effects how quickly a new product can be introduced and is a key driver of competitive advantage.

That is why EVCO Plastics invests so much in the design – focusing on design for use, design for manufacturability and design for competitive advantage. Our success is determined by our ability to maximize your success – and we know the design and engineering process is critical to achieving that success!

We have found the two most critical factors for success in this process are partnering with you early on in the design phase – and focusing on what we consider the 5 Keys to Success for engineering out cost and engineering in quality and optimal performance.
