Aluminum is fast emerging as the preeminent material in the injection molding plastics industry. The benefits of using aluminum tooling as opposed to steel tooling in the process of fashioning molded plastic parts are numerous. However, there are some distinct drawbacks that one must take into account before deciding which metal to select for a particular project. The most effective way to make this critical decision is to use various methods of computer simulation. Simulation allows a firm to examine the myriad of unique factors surrounding a specific project, and how they affect the decision of which type of metal to use.

Learn which types of programs are best for which types of projects, and how the engineers at SimuTech can help you decide which simulation programs best fit the specifications of your firm’s projects.

It’s a simple fact. Qualified sales leads are the lifeblood of any sales organization. So why are so many leads ignored or underutilized?

In this paper we will make the case for three possible changes in your thinking:

• Sales and marketing organizations are better served by spending marginally less on lead generation and more on the process of lead management.

• All sales leads are not created equal — identifying “sales-ready” leads is a critical step in the lead generation and management process.

• Leads that are not sales-ready today can be nurtured and cultivated to be sales-ready in the future.

Livingston, NJ—Inteplast Group’s AmTopp Division announced today that it intends to increase its stretch film manufacturing capacity by adding two cast film extrusion lines at the Lolita, Texas plant and increase utilization of its acquired facility in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The move will aid in extending better service to its customers in the north eastern United States.

The two new extrusion lines will be the 9

th and the 10th cast stretch film extrusion lines for AmTopp in Lolita, Texas. This expansion will increase AmTopp’s stretch film name plate capacity to a total of 260 million pounds annually.

Further AmTopp plans to install up to five stretch film lines in its new manufacturing facility in Hazleton, PA.

AmTopp’s stretch film operation produces a variety conventional and engineered hand film and machine wraps including the extremely successful light gauge, optimum stretch engineered "LoadStar" series in both hand and machine applications.

The two new extrusion lines will be state of the art high speed machines producing ultra light gauge pallet wrap products. AmTopp regards the expansion as being targeted to better serve its customer base. Furthermore, the increased capacity will contribute to expanding the company’s popular light gauge "LoadStar" series, further reducing its manufacturing cost and making the company even more competitive in the market.

The two new lines will be operational in the second half of 2012.

Foam materials made from rubber and plastics are a ubiquitous part of modern life,
serving as indispensable components in everything from advanced medical and aerospace
applications to everyday consumer items. A wide variety of foam materials have been
developed that effectively and reliably serve many different functions, including sealing,
temperature insulation, sound attenuation, vibration damping, and shock absorption.
However, when foam products fail, it may not be because of a deficiency of the foam
material, but because of problems with the adhesive system. All too frequently,
adhesives do not stand up to the rigors of the end use application, or they break down
during transport and storage, prior to the foam component being finally affixed.
Inadequate adhesive systems also cause problems during the fabrication and conversion
of foam products, resulting in product damage and waste, and in disruptions of the
manufacturing process.
