Customers Who Trust ZIPPS
“ZIPPS work on MPC’s molding optimization yielded substantial cost reductions from decreased cycle time and reduced part weights throughout various jobs in the plant.”
Marty Bondar • Plant Engineering Supervisor • MPC Inc.
“ZIPPS has assisted me in successfully implementing cavity pressure here at Smiths Medical. We started with a simple three gang body plate which was outfitted with sensors years ago but never utilized. With this mold we were able to prove with data to my management team the part weight savings, cycle time savings, and part containment abilities of cavity pressure and scientific molding.”
James Lipps • Senior Plastics Engineer • Smiths Medical
“I have been in the automotive Quality Profession for 48 years and have met a few professionals in my time. Mike Zalipski is a true example of that. He is an expert scientific injection molding guru. His analytical abilities are top shelf, you won’t find anyone better. Mike and I have worked on several projects together, mostly under duress. He always shows up with energy, knowledge, and relentless drive to succeed. I would be proud to work with Mike Zalipski on any future projects.”
Robin McCormick • BMW QMT, Plant Spartanburg, SC
