They looked to the engineering team at Avient for material selection and manufacturing guidance. Together, the collaborative team evaluated various Gordon Composites™ spring materials and configurations, trialing different lengths, thicknesses and fiberglass-to-resin ratios to achieve the required properties. Avient’s team of engineers was very helpful in determining the right materials and refining our manufacturing process,” said Josh Caputo, president and CEO of Humotech.

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. Avient’s team also provided hands-on design recommendations to minimize knit line concerns and address structural requirements. Avient’s team helped mitigate that risk through education, advanced testing and technical expertise.
