Buckeye ShapeForm Release date: July 28, 2008

Successful Product Launch Leads to 4-Year Partnership for BuckeyeShapeform Four years ago, Mindware Technologies, a Gahanna, Ohio-basedcompany specializing in biomedical research applications, waslooking to market its first product, the BioNex Mainframe, to aidinstructors and entry-level researchers in laboratories. Withlittle knowledge about packaging, Mindware called on the experts atBuckeye Shapeform for guidance. After listening to Mindware'svision for its product, the team at Buckeye Shapeform decided itsBMU enclosure series would be a perfect fit. Out of the 13enclosure series and 230 models Buckeye offers, BMU suited theBioNex because it could be easily customized and accessorized tomeet the customers' specific needs. The BMU's flexibility allowedBuckeye to create a version of the enclosure that was half itsstandard width and depth to accommodate the product's unique size.

In addition to a customized size, Buckeye also fashionedself-clinching inserts and rubber molded feet to the standard BMUto increase the product's functionality. Mindware requested a fewof the value-added services Buckeye offers, such as punching holes,machining, finishing, painting, screen printing and AutoCADDrawings, to complete the enclosure.

Mindware was able to introduce their first product to the market ontime and in the exact package it had envisioned. Since then,Buckeye Shapeform has been Mindware's premier choice for enclosuresand has used them for numerous products over the last 4 years. "Notonly does Buckeye Shapeform deliver high-quality projects onschedule, they also respond promptly to our questions and deliverexactly what they promise. Because we trust Buckeye with all of ourenclosure needs, we would absolutely recommend them, and have beenfor years."
