The goal of the project is to conduct a comprehensive market analysis and review of available 2K (two-component) injection molding technology solutions, assess the profitability of investments, and the capability to ensure production capacity on machines with large investments.
We are an automotive industry company, producing car mats using injection molding, and our clients are top car manufacturers worldwide. It is our clients who inspire us to change and strive for new solutions. We want to meet their expectations, which is why we continuously develop and seek new solutions.
2K injection molding technology is popular in various industrial sectors due to its advantages, such as the ability to combine different materials and create more complex products. However, our organization faces difficulties in identifying the most suitable technological solutions, assessing their profitability, and understanding potential market needs that may influence our investment decisions.
The project is being carried out as part of an initiative aimed at increasing our company's innovation and competitiveness. Such a change in the production profile requires significant resources in terms of both knowledge and finances. Due to increasing market demands and the need to adapt to new technologies, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis that will enable informed investment decisions.
• Production: Developing production using 2K technology will require verification of resources in terms of competencies and finances.
• Sales: Expanding the product portfolio will require finding new buyers.
• R&D: Identifying new technologies and materials for use in the new technology.
• Finance: Assessing the profitability of investments and analyzing costs.
The team will need to consider several critical factors to ensure the success of the project:
-selection of appropriate solutions for the current machinery and facilities,
- evaluating the profitability of investments, and staying informed about market trends and customer preferences.
By addressing these aspects, the team can make well-informed decisions that align with both operational goals and market demands.
The project is expected to contribute to several key areas:
• Identification of potential partners and technology suppliers
• Understanding the market dynamics and trends
• Increasing knowledge about 2K technology
By focusing on these aspects, the project aims to achieve its strategic objectives effectively.
