THE SOLUTION Avient proactively worked with Bettcher’s product development team to fully understand the yoke specifications to help ensure end-product quality would remain unparalleled in the market. While we are well aware of the industry and the application demands, Avient was able to provide the design support capabilities and materials expertise to help us optimize performance and streamline the development process.”

Because every pound of scrap can lead to higher costs and the potential loss of hard-earned customers, the Avient team worked overtime to develop a formulation that could be easily integrated into the manufacturer’s production lines. With the help of Avient’s color design service, the company was able to develop new product lines that paved the way for additional revenue from new and existing customers.
