The manufacturer’s cable lines, in turn, saw a higher
scrap rate, which led to delayed deliveries to customers
and eventually to the need for price hikes.
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.
