Mesa Industries builds its contract blow-molding business by taking the machines, not the bottles, to customer plants. The High Point, N.C. company specializes in on-site production within the customer’s plant, saving time and cost for “shipping air”—empty containers—while optimizing JIT responsiveness. In addition, the company took a different direction in its equipment selection by adopting a new, all-electric blow-molding machine for production of PET bottles for Misty Mountain Spring Water.
