In this issue:
With all of this market volatility it has never been more important to know that you’re paying the right price for resin every day. For most North American processors resin represents 50% or more of material costs. There isn’t a single money-saving move you can make that will have a greater impact on your company’s profitability. Does your business have a resin plan? Is it ongoing? Or, do you prepare a plan once a year and walk away? If you’ve been reluctant to create a consistent resin buying strategy -- it’s time to start. Getting started is probably easier than you think. - The IDES Team Webinar: Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
