Study pinpoints consolidation trends among U.S. [injection] molders

摘要

Peter Mooney, economist and president of Plastics Custom Research Services, in Advance, North Carolina, USA, has written a report that discusses key issues surrounding injection molder consolidation in the US. Entitled "The New Economics of Injection Molding," it draws on interviews with hundreds of large (and also small and medium) North American molders in automotive, electronics, packaging and other key market sectors. Mooney sees the trend to consolidation broadening and leading to the creation of mega-molders, along with the rise of a rejuvenated tier of niche molders.
