“Through their methods & systems, Marland has supplied us with molds and components that are completely interchangeable in all of our locations around the world.” John Reid, Crown Cork & Seal, USA “Recently, Marland built us a mold that flat out beat our 10-second target by achieving an 8 second cycle time. We are pleased with the performance of this mold and the way this project was handled all the way through. I look forward to working with Marland in the future.” Raymond Comeau, Tubed Products, USA “We are especially pleased with the professionalism demonstrated by Marland, and their outstanding efforts to solve our production challenges creatively and expeditiously by helping us design the appropriate closure for our market.” Emiliano Lopez E., Grupo Industrial Zaragoza, Mexico “We recently purchased a mold from Marland that required a tight delivery and higher capacity. They produced a mold with a significant cycle time improvement. The end result is almost double the capacity over our existing workcell while maintaining the same foot print.” Stephen Renwick, Pano Cap Canada Limited, Canada
Every project starts with the assignment of a team consisting of your Sales Executive, the Design Engineer, and the Manufacturing VP. It is the jobs of the Sales Exec to understand the business needs of our clients and to help other members of the Team fulfill them. The Sales Exec is the Customer’s advocate in this regard. Engineering and Manufacturing develop the mold concept to meet the needs of the Customer. The goal is to balance cost, performance and longevity to produce a mold with optimum value to the Customer. After Customer approval of the concept, Engineering designs the mold to achieve the desired performance characteristics. Marland mold designs draw upon over half a century of experience creating custom tailored solutions to Customer requirements. The people behind our advanced equipment are engineers and fabricators with decades of experience working together on state-of-the-art CAD/CAM and other advanced design and manufacturing equipment. When our Teams are involved in the early stages of an idea, the strength of our experience and teamwork produce measurable benefits for our Customers: Optimum cycle time. Enhanced part quality and consistency. Lower per part cost. Less down time and higher mold efficiency. Reliable, cost-effective tooling. On time delivery. Marland teamwork and proven processes of design and manufacture assure each customer that their mold will accomplish its assigned mission. Innovative mold construction technology Our employee-owners apply the most rigorous standards to every aspect of mold design and construction with ISO 9001 certification. These standards are achieved with the latest advances in computer integrated machining to bring value to our customers. At the heart of this process is Marland’s modern facility. Constructed in 1998, the design of our plant allowed us to take advantage of all that we had learned about mold building in the preceding 52 years. The production area contains state-of-the-art CNC machines and measuring equipment, arranged for lean manufacturing. Quality improvement is our way of life It is our first priority and we achieve it by adhering to a management system that supports its implementation in every thing that we do. Marland has for many years, produced large cavitation molds with interchangeable components. This is made possible by using a master gauge system. That is to say, if we produced a mold five years ago, we can make new components for that mold without having to fit them to the mold. Critical dimensions are measured and recorded at the time that they are made. This gives us continuous control over the manufacturing process and enables us to quickly supply you with new components built to the same exact specifications as the originals. Starting with our climate-controlled production environment and state-of-the-art quality lab, Marland invests continuously in major upgrades to our equipment that allow us to respond to our customer’s requirements for tight tolerances. Marland Mold has a Brown & Sharpe CNC/CMM measuring system capable of repeatable accuracy of 1/2 a micron or 20,000,000 ths of an inch, which gives us the ability to check all features to a master, in this case a CAD file. This insures that all components conform to the same master. The CNC Vision System uses a camera to magnify features so that they can be measured with great precision. This is also used to take pictures and transfer them over the Internet, giving our customers the opportunity to be involved throughout the manufacturing process. The Marland quality policy is a commitment to continuous improvement, examining opportunities, listening to feedback from customers and taking preventive and corrective actions, to improve our products and our processes of production. In-house Testing Facilities Marland maintains its own testing facility with three presses ranging from 100 to 350 tons. This enables us to test your mold and make any minor adjustments that may be required prior to delivery. This saves you time and money. When you are ready to install the new mold in your press, the Marland technician will be there to insure that you have a successful startup.
