Icon: Young shop making the right moves

摘要

Everyone remembers 2001, and in many ways it was the beginning of mini-recessions that led to the big recession. However, for Icon Injection Molding Inc., a custom molder in Phoenix, AZ, business grew as the three brothers who started the company stuck to their plan. Today, that plan includes expanding the company with a second 20,000-ft~2 facil-ity across the street from the original location. The new facility, which will be ready for occupancy this month, will have an 8000-ft~2 self-contained clean-environment molding area, and is be- ing constructed in such a way that Icon can easily turn it into a Class 10,000 cleanroom if business dictates. It will be used for medical molding and cleanroom assembly. Currently, medical molding represents about 40%-50% of Icon's business, says Jeff Davison, the company's general manager.
