Milacron optimizes capacity with contract business: Contract manufacturing, once just a tool to use excess capacity at Milacron, becomes a vital diversification strategy

摘要

Milacron LLC-still often referred to by its legacy name "Cincinnati Milacron" and still based in Cincy - got out of the metalworking tools and grinding business in 2004. Ever since, it has focused its efforts on being a world leader in plastics machinery, mold technologies and industrial fluids. The company, now owned by the private equity firm CCMP Capital Advisors LLC, has been rapidly expanding, acquiring Mold-Masters (Toronto, Ontario) earlier this year and giving credence to its tagline: "Now More than Ever, Your Most Complete Partner in Plastics."
