Molded Solution Experts

We had a long-standing problem in our industry that caused high warranty claims for us. These were very costly and we needed a solution fast. We reached out to CORE and they immediately put a team to work. Within 4 months, we had a solution that was validated and in place. CORE's work saved us more than the cost of our warranty claims, they saved our reputation, and they did it quickly.

We had a very large product that was produced 1500 miles from our assembly plant, in a process that was a poor fit for the program. The combination of part cost and delivery freight was wasting millions. CORE proposed a process conversion, contributed all the early design and justification work, and launched the new product very close to our assembly operation, saving us a ton of money.

We were faced with an impossible challenge. The prototype product we developed did not pass the validation tests. We had a fixed part envelope, a strict weight challenge, and only weeks to meet the commitment to our customer. CORE sent a team on site immediately, offered a new material that precisely met our weight requirements, and had production-quality prototypes delivered in 6 weeks. The parts performed so well, we actually used them as a standard to validate the mating parts. Amazing.

CORE has partnered with our design and engineering teams for many years. Without question, we have been able to introduce new products to our customers because of CORE's material and process capability. They invested in specialized assets specifically to make our programs successful.

I don't know how to describe it other than saying, "partnership." We've worked with CORE for nearly 20 years, and they have performed reliably. They continue to improve our products. When we faced cost challenges, they recommended material changes and managed the program to prove out the new material. When we struggled to predict when our customers would need our products, they put in an inventory management program. We've counted on them for a long time.

There is no question about it, CORE is a leader in this process. We operate in a world where innovation and product improvement must occur annually, or we'll lose our customers. Every year, CORE continues to introduce process improvements that allow us to be more competitive. As a result, we've landed 100% supply contracts with major retailers, while maintaining our own margins.

CORE has a wide range of processes that we use regularly. We really consider CORE to be a "one stop shop" for our many of our program needs. Whether we're discussing our high-volume products or our specialty products, they seem to have a process that works for us.
