May
2, 2005, Dongguan,Gangdon,China–Sincere Techplastic Molding company has
announced a new way to control costs associated with plastic injection
molding. The company, through innovative
engineering, has pioneered a method of providing plastic molders an extended
warranty program that guarantees no additional mold costs while using a SINCERE
TECH mold. Company founder and CEO, Mike
Eikenberry adds, "Mold repair has always plagued companies because it is a
variable cost. We have essentially made
that a fixed cost under the SINCERE TECH program."
SINCERE
TECH will offer the extended warranty program on any mold it designs and
builds, and in some cases, on molds it rebuilds. "There are several plans
available," says Eikenberry. Some
allow for scheduled preventive maintenance and/or repair as needed. Alternatives are to simply send the customer
the required details and instructions for proper mold maintenance and diagrams
for in-house repair.
This
dramatic step can be taken by the 37-year-old Kokomo, Indiana, company because,
as Eikenberry points out, "All molds built by SINCERE TECH are designed to
be easily repaired and maintained. It's
all in the construction." High wear
and/or weak steel areas are inserted with easy to remove and replace high
quality steel inserts.
Each inserted area has a specified location and identification indicated
on location maps provided with the mold.
Each insert is constructed in such a way as to make it impossible to
install in the wrong place or incorrect orientation. Even ejector pins are identified in the same manner
resulting in simplified replacement.
SINCERE
TECH's Premium Extended Warranty plan also allows for work to be sub-let to a
local tool shop previously approved by the customer and SINCERE TECH, or molds
can be shipped to SINCERE TECH for warranty service. "Its simple,"
says Eikenberry, "whatever works best for the customer." The Premium Extended Warranty Program at
SINCERE TECH Mold and Engineering is effective immediately.
