Walter Pack
has reached a new stage in its international expansion plan by joining the US
market with the iconic Jeep automotive brand. This is a strategic move of great
importance for the spanish company because it gives access to a large but
complex market, which imposes high quality standards and where there is a strong
competition. In addition, this project has enabled Walter Pack to incorporate
the legendary American OEM as a customer thanks to its extensive portfolio of
high added value plastic solutions.
The company
has reached the North American market with the WS Lens project it has produced
for the manufacturer of off-road vehicles: this order, which was formalised
last year and will last until 2026, consisted of the production of 3 versions
of plastic display screens with inserted logos. The displays are located in the
vehicle’s centre console and contribute to giving the vehicle’s interior a
special personality.
The
development of this project has been carried out by a multidisciplinary team
from different departments, from purchasing to processes, quality and customer
service, with the aim of offering an optimised response to the North American
manufacturer in terms of both deadlines and costs.
The project
is the result of a comprehensive strategy that Walter Pack has developed in
several phases. The company has taken Jeep’s screen design as a starting point
to carry out different simulations and optimise the aesthetic configuration of
the part. Throughout this process, Walter Pack carried out the necessary
analyses and studies to design and create a specialised lens cell.
The part
has been worked with In-Mold
Forming (IMF) technology, which ensures a result with decorative finishes
of optimum quality and resistant to abrasion and wear.
In
addition, a continuous analysis of the robustness and stability has been
carried out, as well as a permanent verification of the quality of the pieces
to guarantee compliance with the results of the tests and to prevent the
slightest aesthetic defect from occurring at any stage of the process.
The entire
process ensures exceptional quality of both the design and the functionality
and robustness of the components and has made Walter Pack a benchmark partner
for the American car manufacturer.
