Industrial
Manufacturers based in developed nations are facing pressure from low-cost competitors in other parts of the world. Cheap manufacturing countries such as China, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, The Philippines, Malaysia, and many others are offering affordable manufacturing solutions to businesses around the world. These companies, in turn, are facing the dilemma of working with a domestic manufacturer and taking advantage of an opportunity to cut their overheads. In most cases, the latter option wins.
At Reliant Worldwide Plastics, we understand the threats that manufacturers in more developed parts of the world are facing at the moment. We also understand that the manufacturers that survive and thrive in this era of fierce competition can do so for a particular set of reasons: they are innovative; they understand their costs; they critically examine their products. Most importantly, the thriving manufacturers in developed nations do so because they anticipate, understand, and care about their customers’ needs.
How We Can Help
Through our expertise in plastic injection molding, parts manufacturing, and metal-to-plastic conversions, Reliant is uniquely positioned to help industrial manufacturers serving the oil and gas industry, to meet the challenges of today’s market head-on. We work as a strategic partner with these manufacturers, helping them find ways to reduce cost without shirking their commitment to serving their customers effectively. Sometimes, the solution might be designing plastic parts to replace their more expensive metal counterparts. Other times, it might be merely providing more durable parts for long-term industrial use. We help manufacturers consider their costs, products, and customers, and come up with solutions that trim overheads without sacrificing quality or durability.
Reducing manufacturing costs—and thus passing crucial savings on to customers—is a part of what we help clients do, but not the only part. An oil and gas company that chooses us as their oilfield injection molding company will be able to take advantage of our sustainable product development processes and our vendor-managed inventory (VMI) solutions. These factors together allow our customers to achieve real value in their products and product manufacturing stages—value that far exceeds the cost-first benefits that manufacturers in low-cost countries can bring to the table. Your customers, in other words, will have no trouble noticing the quality difference between what you are selling and what they can import from a foreign supplier.
Quality Oilfield Injection Molding
Manufacturers that serve the oil and gas industry are sometimes reluctant to seek out plastic alternatives to metal parts. The reasons are evident: because of the prevalence of cheap plastic parts, plastic has a reputation in some industries of being too weak to meet the demands of the job. As a proven oil and gas molding manufacturer, Reliant can subvert these beliefs. We provide highly engineered thermoplastics, such as PEEK and Ultem, that are more than capable of replacing or assisting aluminum and other metal parts. These plastics have extremely high specific strength and stiffness, and are arguably better suited to the harsh environments of the oil and gas industry. High temperatures, consistent wear, and corrosive chemicals are hard on metal parts, but our thermoplastics are built to withstand these and other tough conditions to ensure performance, safety, and longevity.
