February 2020

February is a transitional month. Winter has had its grip on us for about 6 weeks. It’s been cold, rainy, some snow but mostly dreary. I see signs of Spring in my yard as the little yellow daffodils are poking their heads out of the ground. We will pick up the sticks and branches that have fallen from the trees. It won’t be long until we get our lawn mowers serviced and ready to cut the grass as we take back our yards from a long winter’s siege. For those of us that garden, we will be looking at the seed catalogs to make our orders for the juiciest vegetables and the most colorful flowers.

Plastic injection molding can be very similar as we continually face transitions. Our customers push for piece price reductions, compressed delivery timing among other things. Our suppliers push for higher pricing and sometimes there are shipping delays. We have internal transitions with our workforce, equipment and so forth. Like the gardener, we need a good plan for our business that reduces the impact of pressures that we can control and flexible enough to mitigate those we cannot control.

FISA is here to support your needs with cost competitive, world class hot runners. Whether your needs require a single drop hot runner or a complete multi-drop manifold system, we are here to partner with you to help protect your bottom line. We also keep a complete inventory of standard items that can ship same day if we receive a PO by 2:00 Central time.

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions on any requirements you have.

Until next month, be safe, hope your team wins the Super Bowl and make good parts.
