Midland Metal Products, designing the kiosk display for manufacturing recently opened up a faster, more cost-effective way to attach components to display racks. By using Mate's Hybrid Threadform tool for a discount retailer's cell phone display, Midland realized a 150 percent cost savings over previous fastening methods that required spot welding and self-clinching nuts. But the cost savings are only half of the improvement story. Time-to-market facilitated by Mate's fast Hybrid Threadform process is equally important to customers where selling seasons come and go quickly and the race to be first often determines a retailer's overall success.
