Finally back up and running!

After being shut down by covid and losing our key plastics manufacturer who also shut down permanently from covid19, we are finally negotiating with a new manufacturer who has the capabilities to work with our unique and complicated molds. 
Our prior mfg had the molds made for his older machines, but that made them unusable on anyone else's more modern injection molding machines (unbeknown to us!). He essentially told us- sorry- you wont be able to find anyone else in the US to make your product, since the only machine that could do it is now scrapped.
That would of been nice to know before we spent over $$$ having the molds made. Basically the molds were useless...according to him.
We got the same news from many of the manufacturers that we met with recently as well. But we persisted, and after almost 100 calls/emails we have found someone with the right machines, enabling us to begin supplying our customers with our advanced fuel saving hydrogen generators once again!
Keep checking back for updates - coming soon!

Thanks Paul. We are in the process of now having a machinist modify them to work in newer vertical injection molding machines. Most production machines today are horizontal, and they wont work in those for a variety of reasons, at least not without major retooling which is not in the budget.

Yay! That’s a great find. But you might want to somehow make the mold(s) adaptable for newer machines as a future Plan B.
Live and learn. Best of luck!
