Across all industries, innovation is key — it drives progress and revolutionizes how businesses operate and serve customers. For plastic molding companies, the importance of innovation is amplified because the more advanced a molder’s operations are, the more cost-effective, accurate, efficient, and high-quality its creations will be. Cutting-edge engineering delivers cutting-edge products, and the innovative operations and capabilities of your plastic molding company can support your own innovation. 

The Manufacturers Association for Plastics Processors (MAPP) recognizes the importance of innovation and honors innovative industry leaders with an annual Innovation Award. Judged by the level of impact, creativity, value, and more, this award recognizes companies that “take the initiative to incorporate new ideas to help their business stay ahead” and better serve their clients.

Read on to explore why partnering with an innovative plastic molding company is critical to ensuring maximum efficiency and exceptional quality in your molding project, then learn why Deluxe and our MAPP award-winning innovation make us the ideal choice. 

Benefits of Partnering with an Innovative Plastic Molding Company

For a plastic molding company to be innovative, they may have advanced their capabilities above the competition or revolutionized their operations to be more efficient or accurate. These innovations come with a wide range of benefits to the clients who partner with them for injection molding projects, including:

Save Time

When you turn to an injection molding company that has innovated its processes to be more efficient, you can shave off production time without compromising the quality of your processes. These tighter timelines allow you to finalize your project faster and get to market without delay. 

Save Money

An innovative plastic molding company has advanced capabilities and efficient practices to help you lower the costs of your project. The right partner can offer expert design guidance that showcases opportunities to optimize your part’s design and lower the costs. They also can work faster and partner with automation to eliminate costs associated with a lengthy production process.

Raise the Quality

With an innovative injection molding company on your side, you can count on exceptional quality plastic parts made to your precise requirements. Innovative molders utilize the latest machinery and techniques, and when you partner with a company like Deluxe Plastics, you can also leverage the power of robotics for your part creation, making more accurate, repeatable parts in tight timelines.

Award-Winning Innovation: Choosing the Right Plastic Molding Company 

One key consideration when determining the right plastic molding company to partner with for your needs is their industry honors, such as the MAPP Innovation Award. This award showcases industry leaders and is highly competitive, recognizing the innovative efforts and successes of plastic processors like injection molding companies. 

The winners are selected through voting by MAPP members, meaning the honored companies are recognized by their industry peers to have gone above and beyond in the name of progress and optimization. When you choose to partner with a MAPP award-winning company, you can count on their innovative operations to enhance your experience, leading to more cost-effective, time-saving production and higher quality custom products. 

At Deluxe, we are honored that our facilities have been recognized by the MAPP award multiple times. In 2019 and 2021, our Medford facility took second place, recognized for our innovative efforts in both employee retention and workstation layout to optimize our operations. We also took first place in 2015, which showcased our innovation in Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) Carts. 

Each of these initiatives has a direct impact on our customer’s bottom line. The faster we’re able to work, the more skilled our labor is, and the tighter our practices are as we develop your premium quality parts, the more time and money we save you. We’ve only continued to innovate, incorporating further automation into our processes with our entry this year. Our efforts showed a strong impact on cost and time-saving measures, further supporting our mission of solving your challenges in a timely and cost-saving manner.

At Deluxe, we’re proud of our team and the many honors our innovations have achieved, but we’re even more proud of how these innovations allow us to deliver unparalleled service to our customers.
