Acrilex Invests in Customer’s Success with New CNC Router
Jersey City, New Jersey – Acrilex, Inc proudly announces the addition of a brand new 4 head, multi-tool CNC router at it’s Jersey City fabrication facility. This new router has an 80″ x 120″ router table which accommodates typical 2 meter x 3 meter metric plastic sheet sizes that are being imported from Europe.
“The addition of this machine dramatically increases our capacity, which reduces lead times and cost per unit. Remaining on the “cutting edge” is always high on Acrilex’s priority list. Maximizing yield and throughput while maintaining maximum precision is what it’s all about!” says Dan Rustin, marketing manager at Acrilex.
Investing in equipment and technology allows Acrilex to not only maintain its edge in a competitive industry, but the parts produced from Acrilex’s huge inventory of materials allows its customers to maintain their competitive edge as well without having to compromise on quality or lead time.
The new router is being installed as this is being written, and will be in service by mid February, 2014.
Additional recent investments by Acrilex include the installation of a new high capacity CNC saw at it’s Pennsylvania facility. That investment has already had a substantial impact on the ability of the Norristown branch to better serve its customers with cut-to-size plastics locally, and without the added cost of freight from a remote location. For customers who need large volumes of cut to size plastic, it makes more sense to utilize their own skilled craftsmen to finish the assembly of their products, rather than spending their time on the less complex task of cutting. Bringing in pre-cut blanks saves them a considerable amount of time in their production schedule, reduces the floor space required to produce parts, and allows their skilled workers to focus on the more complex tasks for which they are uniquely qualified.
These installations of equipment are a testimonial to a company that it is growing on how, in this tough economy and in such a competitive industry, investing and innovating processes can help a company to thrive while others may wither. The key to their success, says Rustin, is; “At Acrilex, we are as invested in our customer’s success as we are in our own!”
