Premier Plastics maintains worlds best practises with AspectPL

"We could not run without AspectPL.”

Premier Plastics a custom blow and injection molder, was established in 1970 and is a leading manufacturer and supplier of ex stock 'off the shelf' packaging and custom packaging for the personal care, cosmetic, health care, pharmaceutical, veterinary and associated industries.

As the original customer to install AspectPL in their factory in Auckland in the 90’s, the manager at the time, Steve Habershon knew that collecting data in order to analyze and improve the business was very important and there had to be a better way than clip boards and spread sheets and doing things manually.

Now a number of years later, Premier’s business has grown dramatically where they now manage and control 100s of jobs a month across 43 machines.

Owned now by Cospak Pty Ltd, Steve is the Manufacturing head for the Group and states that "we could not run without AspectPL". Scheduling would be a nightmare and co-ordinating tool changes and keeping the factory humming would take significantly more resources than they presently use.

Also the vast array of products and specific specifications for each product, AspectPL enables controls second to none where specifications and traceability are concerned.

Competing with the rest of the world, Premier are confident they can maintain Worlds Best Practises and are able to maintain consistent quality and continue to improve their performances which ensures their healthy growth in the market, just as it has since the early 70’s.

It is no coincidence that the growth of Premier and AspectPL have run in parallel. It has been a win win situation.
