A cornerstone of the ICG’s culture of sharing is the group’s open-door policy for checking out new presses and other equipment installations at member plants. “It’s so much more valuable to see a piece of equipment in operation on the shop floor than in a show room,” Willie notes. While raw materials are purchased collectively by ICG members, all capital equipment purchases are made at the discretion of the individual companies. The association staff retains a list of each converter’s equipment investments in order to efficiently direct members’ technology inquiries.
