Elite Mold & Engineering featured in Plastics News

Shelby Twp., MI, January 9, 2009—Elite Mold & Engineering, a leading provider of plastic injection molds and molded products in Southeast Michigan, is featured in the December 22, 2008 issue of Plastics News, the industry’s leading trade publication.

The article focuses on Elite’s acquisition of all-electric molding machines and the industry trend towards this type of machinery. “We were an early adapter of this direction because we saw the value these machines bring to our clients, such as adding greater precision molding and accurate repeatability, said Joe Mandeville, President of Elite. “Plus, they consume less energy, which is good for the environment. It just makes good sense.”

Toshiba, a company Elite has worked with for years, was also quoted in the article. “Pretty much all molders are looking at all-electric technology. In case of the smaller companies, they’re seeing the true value in it, not only in energy savings, but the opening of processing windows, the control,” said Michael Werner of Toshiba Machine Co. America.

The article also emphasizes Elite’s experience in the medical molding. “Elite Mold & Engineering is no medical newbie,” wrote the article’s author Bill Bregar, “it got into medical molding seven years ago.” All-electric molding machines have allowed Elite to achieve the high quality and tight tolerances that the medical device market demands.
