Methods Used

There are two methods to describe what the manufacturer does – by process (plastics making was they use), and by industry they are serving (automotive, packaging, and more.). Final product made determines type of the processes used. It isn’t necessary that the manufacturer get equipped with known processes. Most of the manufacturers are highly specialized in just some methods. The bigger plants might have three or four but it is hardly possible to have each process in one roof as selection of the process is totally dependent on final product or industry that the manufacturer is supplying. For example, company that supplies electronic industry might have the injection molding process for making TV casing or other components. The blow molding processes, which are used for bottles making are of not much use.
