Connected Systems Tailored for Rubber and Plastics
As plastic production surges, manufacturers are challenged with meeting the needs of price-conscious customers, increasing competition, and tighter timelines for new product development. To stay competitive, companies must incorporate flexibility for innovation into their operations while maintaining efficiency in a constantly changing environment, where:
- Advancements in polymer science drive changes in production techniques and require investment in updated equipment.
- Growing environmental concerns may introduce new regulations and push toward a circular plastics economy.
- Price volatility of petroleum-based feedstocks and other raw materials continues to pressure profitability.
