We understand your desire to profitably satisfy your customer’s needs, and so we add tangible value to our products and services to enable you to do so. The following will illustrate how Marland can help you achieve your goals. From Part Concept to Mold Design Consider the cost of not starting off with the right mold design and the value of knowing that you have the right one. When our clients ask us to undertake a new mold project, it is most often in response to the requirements of the end-use customer. Marland works with the molding company to determine how best to meet the end-use customer’s requirements. Often, changes in the initial concept need to be made to optimize cost and performance. Rapid Response Consider the potential cost of not meeting your customer’s time requirements and the value of knowing you can deliver on time. Whether you need to purchase one small mold or many large molds to meet the needs of your customer, it is essential that your customer get the new product to market quickly. Your customer often places significant demands on you to provide quality parts with very short lead times. At Marland, every one of the people working on your project is an owner of the company. Each of us understands that satisfying your requirements is essential to our success. Over the years, Marland has continuously shortened delivery times by improving our scheduling and production processes. Successful Startup At Marland, our goal is to have your mold make perfect parts first time out-of-the-box. What does it cost your company when that doesn’t happen and what is the value of knowing that it will? Continuous Improvement Have you considered replacing older generation molds with the faster molds that are available today? How much more could you afford to spend to achieve a 25% increase in production? The faster cycle times significantly enhance your bottom line performance—yet another way Marland adds value. The pace of change in our industry has been fierce this past decade. Molds that 6 years ago ran with cycle times of 8 or 9 seconds are now being replaced with molds that cycle in half that time—significantly reducing per part cost. Marland operates at the cutting edge of this environment. We are constantly seeking improved designs to help reduce per part cost.
