VOLT: MAKING CHANGES FOR THE FUTURE
A family owned company, Volt Industrial Plastics is
located in beautiful northern Arkansas in an area called the
Ozarks. The last couple of years have been a time of
change and growth for our company. We relocated from our
original location to a much larger facility in 2012,
revamped and updated our website, and are in the process
of replacing and adding to our production capacity.
This extra room has allowed us to purchase new
equipment, including new Arburg molding machines. We
are currently replacing molding machines with newer
technology, and updating the production floor is
streamlining our processes. That alone has allowed Volt to
increase production and ability to supply customers,
keeping lead times to a minimum. The extra room also
gave us the capacity to mold larger parts, thus increasing
our versatility in serving our customers.
Our current facility is nearly three times the size of the
old, going from about 25,000 square feet to 68,000
square feet. This new building has not only given Volt
plenty of room for expansion but more room for inventory.
Increasing inventory has allowed us to fill customer orders
quickly, offer same day shipping, and reduce lead times
down to days if the product is not in inventory.
Our new tool lead times have also been on the decline
thanks to adding new equipment. Depending on the
difficulty of the part, the lead times are as little as one to
two weeks.
Our new website has a more modern look and
features a responsive design, making it compatible with
mobile devices like smart phones and tablets. New
products are added to the site on a regular basis, and we
have added links to our Facebook and Twitter pages. We
also take advantage of Facebook and Twitter to connect
with our employees and customers, keeping touch in a
more personal way. To keep our employees up-to-date
about what is happening with Volt and each other, we
instituted a monthly company newsletter, VIP Nuts & Bolts,
to which employees regularly contribute content about
children and family members.
Volt Industrial Plastics was founded on old-fashioned
values like customer service and quality. We have not only
continued to maintain those values, but we are moving
forward with new technology so we can serve our
customers in an efficient manner that allows us to
maintain high standards of quality. Here at Volt we are
excited about what the future brings and we are looking
forward to the challenges that new technology will present.
We feel that we can combine Innovation with our high
standards of quality to present customers with the service
they have come to expect.
