Engineered Plastics: A Breakthrough In The Automobile To Reduce Costs And Load Stress
The global community has become more aware of the practices and benefits of reusing and recycling. As a result, the world is shifting towards more sustainable products in industrial applications. Plastics industry is one such domain, where the transition is taking place from commodity plastics to engineering plastics. Engineering plastics are a category of plastics that possess a unique combination of properties, enabling them to perform effectively in structural applications, over a wide range of temperatures, under mechanical stress, and different chemical environments. Moreover, they are impact and abrasion resistant. Engineering plastics have replaced the traditional engineering materials such as metals, glass and ceramics in several applications. The major reason for this shift is the rising quest for miniaturization, innovation in electronics, and light-weight automobiles. The product segment has various industrial applications such as, automobiles, electronics, mechanical equipment, medical equipment, and chemical industry.
Company History
Company A is a reputed and reliable name in the area of engineering plastics. The company designs and manufactures a wide array of plastic components, majorly for the automobile industry. However, it also caters its service to the FMCD sector. It is well equipped in creating quality plastic components including exterior parts, interior parts, chassis parts, and function parts for all kinds of four wheelers, two wheelers, commercial vehicles, white goods, and sanitary items. With its state-of-the-art research facilities and applications equipped with advanced technology, the company is able to provide rich visual aesthetics to motor vehicles and ensure timely delivery of products.
Agenda for expansion
The company had worked in multiple segments and thus had a series of products that could be of great use in multiple industries. These new, optimized products with premium quality and flexibility are highly efficient and low maintenance, which propels their demand in the market. With such a wide range of products and quality assurance, the client wanted to provide its products to the Indian Railways.
Our solution
We have realized solutions for Company A to help them extend their services to Indian Railways. Post examining the product as per the specifications of Indian railways, the governing body decided to take this collaboration further to deliver the benefits to the Rail sector. As a vehicle’s performance is dependent on the operating conditions (load, speed etc.), the use of engineering plastics in the railway sector will result in smooth operations, while reducing the cost and resources involved.
