History
The
mid-90's opened a new dimension to information
technology in business, as the World Wide
Web took its place in our everyday workplace.
The internet simply downsized the world
as we knew it, and an era of 'Globalization'
is still rapidly unfolding.
In 1998, C-I strategically shifted our
US efforts to rapidly developing and expanding
our international manufacturing foot print.
These expansions continue to be developed
and perfected as we anticipate the needs
of our markets to serve. With many US
manufacturers struggling in areas to off-set
Legacy Cost, we are confident that our
current market offering is a positive
and lucrative alternative.
C-I will continue to hone down our International
Supply strategy by finding even better
more efficient methods to Design, Develop
and Launch rubber, and rubber to metal
applications at better prices. We feel
we are ahead of the curve, and will continue
to offer our customers the latest of 'business
dynamics' in terms of cost and quality.
Our
Niche Market
Our
niche market is specific to Rubber Products
used in the Transportation Industry. The
Transportation industry is further broken
down into Land, Air, and Sea segments.
The majority of our customers would be
categorized as Transportation: Land, Tier
II, with a small portion being Tier I.
We do however, currently supply a wide
range of applications to all of these
Transportation market segments. The common
denominator between all of our customers:
they all require elastomers to reduce
the transmissible noise, vibration, and
harshness within their products suspension,
chassis, or framework.
Our
Core Competence
We
are recognized as a World Class rubber
molding house. Our core business is rubber
molding, and C-I is technically strong
in bonding polymers and silicones with
steel, aluminum, and TPE's. C-I has a
solid staff for compound development,
pride ourselves on our US controls of
our International Mixing, Molding and
Engineering facilities. We do all this
in the competitive labor areas of Asia-Pacific,
and ultimately pass this along in the
form of product cost. Our design capabilities
often require tooling, and are found in
the form of non-standard size, configuration,
and materials. All of our products are
unique in design, and are specifically
made to solve an issue such as noise,
vibration, harshness, thermal control,
mounting, fluid seal, and/or environmental
concerns.
