The mold manufacturing industry is vitally important because plastics touch every individual’s life every day! Modern medicine relies on a vast array of plastic parts. Plastic products are ubiquitous from blow-molded milk and juice jugs, to injection molded components for computers, cell phones and office equipment, as well as automotive, aircraft and defense parts. Plastic is everywhere, and it takes molds and the people who make them to shape all of these plastic components.
