The Moment of Truth at NPE: 2024 Leadtime Leader Winner Revealed

Mold manufacturing boils down to lead times. If you can’t meet or exceed a customer’s delivery expectations, that customer probably won’t return. So mold builders must use all available resources, including skills and experience, to continually improve their work performance. They must also always strive to provide customers with exceptional service, solutions and support. They are what MoldMaking Technology calls Leadtime Leaders!

In 2003 we launched an award of the same name, sponsored by Progressive Components, to recognize and honor North American mold manufacturers who strive to reduce lead times and improve delivery performance by streamlining operations, improving productivity, and increasing output and revenue while engaging employees and impacting the industry.

This year, we will announce our 2024 Leadtime Leader Award Winner at NPE on Tuesday, May 7, at 4 p.m. in the Plastics Technology Booth W2143.

To whet your appetite on who it might be, here are some of this winner's standouts:

• Repeat business from top custom molders and OEM brand owners reflects its commitment to on-time deliveries, exceptional customer service, engineering expertise and a dedicated workforce.

• Notable achievements include the delivery of a 512-cavity stack mold in 2022 and a range of molds in 2023 spanning from one to 256 cavities.

• Specializes in high-performance parts with features like living hinges, threads, multiple materials, aesthetic requirements, inserted components and advanced mold capabilities.

• Differentiation in the injection mold builder market comes from its significant investment in engineering resources, both personnel and technologies.
