Assembly as a key component of plastics contract manufacturing has been a Nypro
strength for all of the company's history. Starting in 1955 when Nypro was
founded, the company was molding plastics parts and assembling them into
flashlights for Ray-O-Vac.
Today, Nypro offers value added assembly as a much more completely defined
process than in the early days. As Nypro has connected the dots in plastics
processing -- from product design to mold making to molding to assembly -- the
result has been a synergistic growth of capabilities in value added assembly.
Nypro offers assembly services from manual to high-speed automation within all
of our molding plants worldwide. In addition, there are "stand-alone" assembly
operations in Puerto Rico, Mexico, China, the Dominican Republic and the United
States.

Since 1955, injection molding generated the vast majority of Nypro revenues. In
2004, for the first time, injection molding provided 48% of revenues and value
added services made up the rest. Leading these was assembly.
In the beginning, when Nypro was assembling flashlights, it was performed
by dozens of hard-working people sitting at tables and assembling products.
Today, assembly is largely an automated process, relying on robots and custom
designed automatic equipment to do the job. Hand assembly in the current
environment is largely reserved for rapid product launches where the time to
design and build automation exceeds the total lead time available for a new
product.
