Our customer, a key player in the appliance industry, came to us with a specific need for a new cord guide for their wand assemblies. They sought a partner who could meet their exacting specifications in a cost-effective and timely manner, looking for improvements in both quality and efficiency.
The client chose us due to our established reputation for delivering high-quality, customized plastic extrusions. Our expertise in adhesive applications and punching, backed by our commitment to timely delivery and cost-efficiency, made us a compelling choice. This trust we’ve earned from our many valued customers further solidified their decision to partner with us for their project needs.
We set out to engineer a cord guide made of integrally colored rigid polyvinyl chloride. With dimensions measuring 1.1″ wide x 0.65″ high and a cord hold area of 0.010″, we utilized our adhesive application expertise to ensure a secure bond. Our specialized punching capabilities were instrumental in achieving the exact profile dimensions. A separate surface treatment process gave the cord guide its desired matte finish.
Throughout the manufacturing process, we conducted rigorous inspections. These checks included confirming profile dimensions, testing adhesive bonds, and performing a twist-over-length quantification. We met the customer’s strict requirements to a tee, and in a cost-effective and timely manner.
Our custom-engineered cord guide solution met the customer’s strict requirements flawlessly, delivered on time and within budget. This successful collaboration has further cemented our role as a trusted partner for specialized engineering needs in the appliance industry.
