Creative Fabricator of Custom Die Cut Parts For a Handheld Device Manufacturer

/in /by

CLARCOR Industrial Air used to sell its venting and filtration membrane (PTFE) only as large rolled goods, but after partnering with Gasket Engineering, it has been able to greatly expand its product offerings, solve unique business challenges and expand its customer base.

The membrane CLARCOR sells can be challenging to handle (imagine trying to handle a large sheet of Saran Wrap without getting it tangled), and that’s why the company partnered with Gasket Engineering. Acting as an advisor, we  worked through every challenge with the client to convert materials in the best way possible and address  the customer’s needs. We worked with them to cut the material into specific shapes, put the material on appropriate release liners and marry it with the best adhesives to allow for the broadest applications possible.

How do we do this?  As a fabricator of custom die cut parts, we help deliver creative product prototyping by answering questions in several areas:

  • What’s the best low-tack liner to use with the membrane for ease of application?
  • How can it bond with certain materials?

A customer in the cell phone industry needed to convert this delicate membrane from 80 inches wide to 2 inches wide. Understanding the customer’s need, Gasket Engineering  built a prototype with a low-tack liner for optimal handling. Sarah Propp, CLARCOR Air Industries product development engineer, explained, “With its in-house tooling capabilities and a large product inventory, Gasket Engineering was able to make a prototype very quickly. Their expertise helped us deliver what the customer needed for a quick new product proof of concept.”

There’s nothing that we like better than helping our customers solve challenges.  We work with so many different materials and custom-engineer every solution for each individual customer need. If you’re looking for a converter with a unique combination of broad capabilities, creative thinking and a can-do attitude, let the team of experts at Gasket Engineering solve your converting challenges.

Let This Raw Material Converter Do The Work For You

Nothing seems impossible to Gasket Engineering.

When a partnership works, it works, and Gasket Engineering is happy to be able to have great partnership-style relationships with its material suppliers.  In turn, those suppliers appreciate the expertise this raw material converter brings to the relationship.

Gasket Engineering’s clients are sophisticated manufacturers of elegant and intricate products that provide solutions for a multitude of today’s engineering problems.  However, often times handling those materials and converting them in the most useful way can be a challenge, and that’s were Gasket Engineering shines.

One Wind Energy Sales Manager from a fiberglass distributor said, “They are what America is all about; they get excited about every opportunity to tackle problems that have never been solved before. When I bring them a project where there’s no easy answer and I only have a vague idea of what my client needs, they still say ‘Sure, we can work on that!’ They have a sense of ingenuity coupled with responsiveness that is so great to work with.“

This customer talked about the company’s focus, explaining, “ This aspect of product development for a given client company might constitute 5% of the total product, but they’re probably not giving it the attention it deserves –maybe 3% attention. Because it IS their business, Gasket Engineering gives it 100% attention to make sure it’s done right.  They have refined these processes and figured out how best to convert materials to deliver what the customer needs–with no waste.  I’ve seen many people do this, and no shop has less scrap than they do.  They’ll inevitably do it more efficiently, with more expertise and with more creativity. That’s the kind of partner you want!”

Boyd Comfort, Director of Sales at Gasket Engineering explains the company’s approach, “When we’re making something for a client, we have to bring creativity to the project. Our customers have come to us for our expertise, and they trust us to find a solution.”

Because of the wide range of machinery available to them and their innovative approach to challenges, Gasket Engineering can convert materials in complex ways that others can’t. If you’re looking for a converter with a unique combination of broad capabilities, creative thinking and a can-do attitude, let the team of experts at Gasket Engineering solve your converting challenges.
