FEATURED ARTICLE

03/23/06 RICK BONOVITZ QUOTED IN MEDICAL PRODUCT OUTSOURCING MAGAZINE

A feature article, “Stretching Thin: Extruders Facing Multiple Pressures”, in the March 2006 issue of Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) magazine quotes Rick Bonovitz, Director of Sales & Marketing for Teel Plastic’s Healthcare Division.

As an extruder in the medical market, Teel is well aware of the need for tighter tolerances, managing the cost of plastics and shrinking lead times. The MPO article faces these challenging industry issues as well as tackles how extruders can find cost-saving alternatives and timesaving solutions.

As Rick Bonovitz cited in the article, “an extruder’s lead time is directly affected by the complexity of the customer’s design as well as whether new equipment and compounding will be required”. To meet the demands of an ever-changing medical industry, extruders are being pressured to push the limits of their capabilities.

The MPO article also addresses tube lubricity, the positives and negatives of using PVC, and coextrusion.
