Our engineered com- ponents, on the other hand, become part of the vehicle.” The company’s material handling product line involves the use of multiple materials designed to serve more com- plex material handling systems.

needs. Illustrating the complexity of material combinations, Bradford says, “Regarding extruded plastic, while some of those materials look similar, they can have very different properties, which we design in. Our specialty plastic ma- terials are sourced from niche manufacturers across the globe.” Noting that the chemical properties and physical attributes of these materials differ widely, he adds, “For instance, some plastic materials are omnidirectional. They do not have a flute and have an equal strength in length and width, while some have special properties related to ESD characteristics.” Internally, Bradford Company handles this complex mix of materials, designs, products, and related services through automation, specifically its homegrown specifica- CONTINUED ON PAGE 28 Tommy Bradford displays a Bradford taillamp assembly pack designed for a tier 1 auto supplier.
