THE FUTURE OF rotational molding

SMART® MOLDING TECHNOLOGY

We’re proud to be the first custom rotational molder in North America to operate the groundbreaking Leonardo SMART Molding Machine. Created by Persico Motomoulding of Italy, the Leonardo SMART Molding Machine has been a game-changer in the industry for over a decade.

Our investment in this technology helps our customers lower costs and shorten lead times. Here’s how it’s revolutionized the process for our clients:

  • This machine was designed to be highly efficient, optimizing energy usage and reducing material waste. Compared to other options, it saves 8-10% in raw materials and 15% in energy consumption.

  • With the machine’s overall efficiency comes cost savings. When we create your rotationally molded products, we’ll use fewer materials and less energy, which results in a lower financial responsibility for your organization. You can then take these savings and reinvest them into other areas of your business.

  • The Leonardo SMART Molding machine is faster and more efficient than other technology on the market. Because of this, you’ll see reduced downtime and shorter lead times. Overall, you’ll get to market faster when this machine is involved.

Metal To Plastic Conversion

What if you could reduce weight, lower production costs, and reduce the risk of corrosion for your metal parts? With metal-to-plastic conversion, it’s never been easier to hit these goals and streamline your operations. Our team can reverse-engineer your product, and create a plastic clone that replicates the function and performance of the metal part.

Our proven metal-to-plastic conversion was first introduced in 1992 when a local farmer decided to go from 38” wide rows to 22” narrow rows. For this, he needed smaller corn snouts, but didn’t want to create them using metal. His experimenting with rotationally molded polyethylene resulted in an innovative prototype that increased efficiency within his operations. Now, we regularly create poly snouts and other plastic parts for a variety of industries.

The Advantages of converting

  • Reduce weight & cost

    Plastic parts are lighter than their metal counterparts, reducing overall weight and improving equipment efficiency. Additionally, the lower cost of raw plastic materials and the efficiency of rotational molding processes contribute to significant cost savings.

  • Greater flexibility

    Plastics offer greater flexibility, allowing for intricate shapes and detailed features that can be challenging to achieve with metals. Additionally, plastics are resistant to corrosion, eliminating the need for protective coatings or treatments.

  • reduce operations & waste

    The inherent design flexibility of plastics allows for complex shapes and features in a single manufacturing step, minimizing the need for additional machining or assembly. This efficiency results in reduced waste and quicker time to market for plastic components.

Fabrication and Assembly

Entrusting your plastic part fabrication and assembly to a third party can be a nerve-wracking experience. Will your products be made to your specifications? Will they be delivered on time? At GVL Poly, we know exactly what you’re going through. With more than 30 years of rotational molding experience, you can count on us to deliver high-quality products, every time.

Our plastic part fabrication and assembly services prioritize cost-effectiveness, precision, and efficiency. With us by your side, you can stop stressing about your plastic parts and focus on what really matters — growing your business.

  • Our engineers are experts at creating parts in the most efficient and economical way. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we can consistently ensure precise and durable plastic parts. Not only does this speed up the production process, but it also minimizes costly downtime and waste.

    Our team is supported by the latest technology — such as 3D printing and 3D drafting— to create the best parts for your operation. No matter your industry, choosing our services means gaining a reliable partner dedicated to delivering top-notch plastic parts with a focus on affordability and quality.

  • The last thing your organization needs is to be bogged down by cumbersome assembly needs. Many rotationally molded parts require secondary services before shipping, and we can take care of them in-house. When you receive a shipment from us, the parts will be assembled and ready for implementation into their final form.

OEM SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

WE’LL MANAGE YOUR OPERATIONS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO

Is your business struggling with planning inventory levels, purchasing materials, and on-time delivery? With our OEM supply management services, it’s never been easier to overcome these issues. Whether you’re a wholesaler, retailer, or manufacturer, we can solve your most painful challenges and provide you with peace of mind.

Our supply management services encompass everything from initial concept to final warehousing and shipment. We take the stress out of your operation and help you focus on growing your business. Here are the services we offer:

  • Design, Fabrication, and Assembly

    With over 30 years of experience, we can create tight-tolerance parts for your operations. Our world-class engineering team is adept at quickly designing high-quality products. From there, we create rotationally molded parts that fit your exact specifications. We can even take care of assembly needs in-house, which speeds up the production process.

  • Warehousing and Shipping

    Logistics and distribution have a ton of moving parts, and it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks. With our time-tested process, we can get your products where they need to go, when they need to be there.

  • Inventory Planning

    Do you often have excess stock? Worse yet, do you run out during peak demand? We can help you optimize inventory levels to balance the need for continuous production with avoiding excess stock.

LET'S TALK

We specialize in the following materials:

MATERIALS

When it comes to rotational molding materials, there are a lot to choose from. At GVL Poly, we specialize in working with a wide range of materials. With our experience, we can help you determine what’s best for your specific needs.

  • Linear low-density polyethylene is a popular choice due to its excellent flexibility and impact resistance. It’s often used in consumer articles, playground equipment, toys, and agricultural parts.

  • Medium-density polyethylene has a higher strength and stiffness compared to LLDPE. You can find this in storage tanks, pallets, large-size playground equipment, fan housings, and barriers.

  • High-density polyethylene has excellent strength, stiffness, and chemical resistance. It’s most often used for large industrial tanks, cab components, consoles, and fuel tanks.

  • Cross-linked polyethylene has enhanced thermal and mechanical properties to provide high stiffness and low temperature impact properties. This makes it perfect for chemical storage tanks, diesel tanks, and gasoline tanks.

  • With its high strength, high temperature resistance, toughness, and abrasion resistance, nylon 6 is a popular choice in applications such as chemical storage tanks and hydraulic reservoir tanks.

  • Polypropylene has great chemical and fatigue resistance, along with superior stiffness. As such, it’s great for plumbing components and tanks.
