PEI
Roots
Plastronic Enclosures, Inc.'s roots go back to 1993 when it's predecessor,
Globe Plastics, began operations as the fist company to design and manufacture
tool-less plastic enclosures in the US. Since that time, continuous
process innovations have led the company, now known as Plastronic Enclosures,
Inc., to be the leader in supplying low volume, short lead-time, custom
plastic enclosures.
For PEI,
the year 2000 was more than the start of a new millennium, it was the
beginning of new ownership for the company. On January 1, 2000, the
previous management of Globe Plastics took ownership of the company
by purchasing its assets and changing its name to Plastronic Enclosures,
Inc. In addition to those changes, the new owners have:
- initiated
a major expansion the includes moving to a new state-of-the-art facility
- brought
on line additional equipment which doubled the throughput capacity
- installed
the latest in 3D Solids Modeling CAD and integrated CAM software
- rolled
out an expanded e-commerce web site designed to improve customer service
and communications, lower project startup time, streamline design
initiative, and reduce administrative and related costs.
Digital
Design and Manufacturing (DDM) Technology
The heart of PEI's process lies within its ability to move away from
the snails-paced world of developing steel and aluminum tools for molding
plastic boxes. Instead, the engineers at PEI have expanded on the European
tool-less process by introducing American technology into the entire
process of developing designs, creating prototypes, and delivering high-quality
production parts. This expanded process, which PEI has named Digital
Design and Manufacturing (DDM) has allowed the company to offer unique
styles that encompass asymmetrical shapes, contours, slopes, radii,
and complexity which add character and identity to our customers' enclosures.
To accomplish
this feat of design wizardry, PEI utilizes the latest digital and mechanical
technology available in such a way that many of our customers can not
believe we can accomplish the look, feel, and functionality that our
enclosures encompass. At the heart of our process is the utilization
of customized CAD software that allows us to not only develop mechanical
views, but also assists our designers in calculating angles, bend radii,
joint tolerances, and arc degrees such that the finished product fits
flawlessly together. Key to the success of this design stage is our
ability to mesh together the high-tech capabilities of this leading
edge CAD software along with our years of
As the
first US company to introduce tool-less technology to the design and
manufacture of plastic enclosures, PEI has continued to build on it
rich history of supplying innovative designs to those companies who
demand the highest quality possible.
