Crescent Industries: Engineering-Driven, Technology-Based Injection Molding Partner Crescent Industries’ team are injection molding experts. What makes us different? Our upfront engineering support. Our design engineers not only contribute DFM feedback but offer guidance by evaluating your entire project for manufacturing. Having one vendor eliminates potential development problems and bridges communications gaps. As a result, you receive an injection molding partner that produces consistent quality parts. From the initial part design to the last part out of the press, their molding workflows are designed and operated according to Decoupled II and Decoupled III processes. OEMs choose us because we combine molding knowledge with technology in our manufacturing facilities. On our production floor, you will find collaborative robots and automated work cells. Behind the scenes, Industry 4.0 software is hard at work monitoring the molding process on all injection presses. Reporting live data allowing for responsive decision making on the floor to reduce part rejects and save time. To achieve a corporate strategy to cut lead times in all phases of manufacturing, Crescent implemented QRM (Quick Response Manufacturing). A time-based manufacturing process tailored to industries producing high mix, low volume, complex, and customized parts. QRM uses work cells to make products needing similar operations, but dissimilar resources located in a single path. The cell members are cross-trained and focused on products manufactured in their QRM cell. Crescent is FDA registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified, and ITAR. Currently, we have three manufacturing facilities located in New Freedom, PA. To learn how we can manufacture your injection molded components or device visit www.crescentind.com.
