No matter the industry, businesses agree on one thing: downtime is costly. When equipment breaks, being able to repair it quickly can mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and catastrophic losses. Why wait for OEM parts when precision replicate plastic parts get your business back up and running fast?
Most companies choose OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts because they guarantee an exact fit and are typically more reliable than aftermarket parts, even though their cost is higher. Purchasing OEM parts can be difficult, however, as they are only available through a limited amount of suppliers and lower quantities of parts are available. As a result, a disruption in the supply chain – such as the GM strike earlier this fall or a manufacturer going out of business – can leave you without access to the OEM parts you need for weeks or even months.
Thankfully, there is a solution. Replicate plastic parts provide the quality of OEM parts without the wait, getting your critical machinery up and running quickly. At Reading Plastic, our experienced team has decades of experience producing high-quality, precise, dependable plastic parts. We can easily replicate the OEM parts you need, even if you don’t know the original manufacturer. Send us any OEM part and we can reverse engineer it, as well as provide a CAD drawing of your part. And as an industry leader in tight tolerance machining, you can be certain your replicate plastic parts will fit right the first time.
We can also help you improve a part to avoid future breakdowns. As a long-time source of high-end plastics, we’ve learned hands-on how the materials perform in all sorts of settings, and we can help you choose the best material for your production line. Whether you’re looking for better wear resistance, lower friction, greater strength, protection against static, improved chemical resistance, or another combination of properties, we can make your part better suited to its application—resulting in fewer breakdowns and higher production going forward.
And once we’ve machined your part, you never have to worry about waiting on OEM parts again. Instead, you have a ready source of OEM replicate plastic parts, which means less downtime, fewer shutdowns, higher production totals, and reduced machine overhead costs. We can even machine an emergency repair kit with your components so that you can take action should anything go wrong, rather than waiting for a breakdown to happen.
