RJG has been responsible for many innovations in the plastics industry:

  • Systematic Injection Molding Seminars
  • Commercial strain gage cavity pressure sensors
  • DECOUPLED MOLDING® techniques
  • The eDART® System—the plastic industry’s first digital data acquisition platform
  • The Master Molder® program

Present

Our business is helping molders supply absolute quality parts to their customers. We do this by providing process control systems, cavity pressure sensing technology, and processing training to the injection molding industry.
