Recently, a market leader in the production of closures for spirits wanted to increase profitability without compromising the quality it provides to the world’s leading beverage brands. Switching from metal forming to injection molding would also enable processing cost savings and expanded design freedom. In addition to cost savings, replacing metal would enable the closure producer to provide its spirits customers with customization in density and color, because Gravi-Tech formulations are colorable, and can be tuned to replicate up to 5 times the density of traditional polymers.

I want to highlight our Specialty Engineered Materials segment which is overcoming continued weakness in Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as outlook for adjusted earnings per share, to the most comparable GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.

Patterson said, “I am pleased with the progress we are making at Designed Structures and Solutions as evidenced by our sequential margin improvement from the first quarter. Patterson said, “I am pleased we achieved double- digit EPS growth, which remains our ongoing objective. As the year progresses, I believe we are doing an outstanding job of managing what we can control, improving profitability and delivering record earnings as a result.

As a result of the system-based cost savings and improved supply reliability, the manufacturer made the decision to proceed with the Versalloy TPV, which is now used in the production of end cuffs for a variety of repeated-use surgical and respiratory hoses. Cost savings: The hose manufacturer saves $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material. These savings resulted from Versalloy’s lower specific gravity (0.88 compared to 0.95) and a 50% reduction in scrap rate.
