Visit to a Large Plastics Factory

Me and one of my clients went to do a check on the progress of one of our large plastic parts. Our part is quite large, so it requires a machine that can inject 2000+ tons of pressure. Such machine is hard to find. We went to a plastic factory that do injection molded parts for cars and large electronics. There are rumors that there are Apple products in the building. Large plastic parts? Who knows, maybe they are making TVs...
