Company officials report they actually exceeded
their initial goals, a testament, they say, to the growing needs by TPE
designers and processors for a technical resource that can quickly
compound either small to large quantities with particular emphasis
unique, one-of-a-kind or proprietary applications. The firm also
attributes their mid-US location to their success, only a mile or so
from Detroit’s major international airport.
In making this announcement, APS Compounding
Principal Stephane Morin states, “We actually exceeded our goal to reach
the half million pound mark the first year. We initially forecast half
this volume the first year to year and a half. Although we correctly
anticipated the needs in the TPE marketplace by entering this industry
segment, we quickly learned the secrets that contribute to that growth
and voids that exist within the industry, among them:
- Having skilled formulation specialists on staff
- Willingness to accept and resolve “nearly impossible” formulation challenges
- A positive attitude to work with startup TPE product design and molding companies
- Experience formulating major TPE types including TPUs, SEBS-based TPEs, TPVs, other
- Ability to meet tight deadlines and provide “press-side” tweaking
- Flexibility to accept both small and large orders
- Large warehousing facilities to store compounding ingredients, provide grades just-in-time
APS Compounding is an independent, fully equipped
compounding resource that can recreate, design or tweak any TPE to meet
the most demanding specification with new colors, additives or filters.
APS Compounding serves all markets with compounded soft elastomers and
molding/extrusion solutions.
