Phoenix Closures Seals Its Engineering Design Success With SolidWorks Software
Graphics Systems Corporation features Phoenix Closures as their Q4 Spotlight Customer
Menomonee Falls, WI (PRWEB) October 22, 2004
Leading SolidWorks reseller Graphics Systems Corporation (GXSC), headquartered in Menomonee Falls, WI is pleased to announce Phoenix Closures of Naperville, IL is the new “Spotlight Customer” featured on their website www. gxsc. com. Each quarter, Graphics Systems highlights a different customer to share their experiences in using SolidWorks 3D CAD software and its solution partner products.
Phoenix Closures switched from AutoCAD to SolidWorks to design the company’s closures and containers, as well as its machine and mechanical parts. Their closures are used in packaging for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, automotive, health and beauty products. Examples of products the company has designed and manufactured include custom milk caps for Dean Foods Milk Chugs, Land O’ Lakes Grip N’ Go milk, as well as custom closures with the AccuSeal™ sealing system for Nestle’s Nestea and Nescafe Frothe.
SolidWorks has been extremely helpful to the company not only as an engineering and design tool, but also as a marketing and sales tool. “We can email eDrawings of the SolidWorks designs to the salespeople and our customers. Since they can rotate and move the design they get a much better feel for its capabilities than what they could see on a hardcopy,” Bridget Zemlo, Engineer, explains. Zemlo adds that as their reseller, Graphics Systems has been “extremely helpful” in supporting them on SolidWorks.
