    — from Leading Contract Molder/Decorator to CPC marketplace
  • At United Silicone and CER - our global expertise in the CPC market is so extensive. We often help global brands dramatically speed foil qualification processes by sharing information on where foil formulations are/were used by the same brand on similar applications worldwide. Recently- one of the world´s largest consumer products brands was delighted by our ability to save them time qualifying our foil to replace a competitive foil due to quality issues resulting in their lines being stopped.
    — Here is what their Global Automation Manager had to say: "You just got top vendor of the month award from me!!!"
