More Value Added, throughout Your Product's Value Stream

You gain the greatest advantages when you work closely with Grimm Bothers Plastics on your custom thermoforming project, from concept through distribution. That's because our total supplier approach, engineering knowhow and diverse manufacturing experience make us uniquely capable of identifying and carrying out improvements throughout your value stream.

Utilizing the Advanced Product Quality Process (APQP) with tools such as design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) methodologies, we examine not just the part, but the end-use application—uncovering ways to reduce cycle times, consolidate the supply chain, eliminate steps and achieve other goals.

Our technical team at Grimm Brothers Plastics also deploys an array of computer-based technologies for greater productivity and precision in product design, including:

  • Fully equipped CAD workstations
  • Design software such as Solid Works®, and Pro Engineer®
  • FARO and ROMER Portable CMM's for reverse engineering and dimensional data verification

When you work with Grimm Brothers Plastics at the earliest stages of design, you seize countless opportunities to cut time and costs from your product's value stream.

A great example is our wide variety of value-added manufacturing operations we offer:

  • Automated and manual assembly
  • Finishing services including shield and decorative painting
