68 69 within a container, sizing the container so that it could be transported by ocean,which cost less, hav- ing it designed so that it could be re-used a number of times,and shipped in a high densitycontainer envi- ronment.So,we ship containers to themanufacturers of the components,they ship the components that theymanufacture to the end locationwhere they’re assembled,and the containers get reconfigured back into the high densityenvironment,empty,and go back to the supplier,again.It greatlycut their transportation costs; it cut their procurement of the containers.And shipped in a higher density,theycan build ship-sets of things,while better protectingthecomponents.These containersare rain-tight and shock suspended and restrained in such a way that the transportation en- vironment doesn’t do anydamage to the components.” Brian Beach,Head of Compounding for PRC Com- posites stresses that the company’s commitment to custom-formulate its products, as well as its adher- ence to its state-of-the art design protocols, is what gives it a competitive edge.“We formulate based off of performance and that can be anything from strength to density to custom coloring to flame retardancy,UV stability, and even light weighting and specific gravity. So we take, not only the perfor- mance requirements for the customers,we also take the molding and the manufacturing requirements. We tailor them and come up with a process and a product that will meet the customer’s requirements.” PREFERRED VENDOR n Victory Foam Inc. www.VictoryFoam.com n J.M.
