In addition, we maintain extensive inventory enabling us to ship direct from stock without the need to setup a production run. WIDE RANGE OF MOLDING MATERIALS Cosmo is capable of molding precision parts in a wide variety of thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics. Our flexibility allows part designers to choose from a larger range of materials and part properties in designing products.

3 FACILITIES AND CAPACITIES Cosmo employs more than 300 persons in four facilities in the United States, Mexico and China. Our plants include more than 180,000 ft 2 dedicated to production and assembly. Cosmo s corporate headquarters are located in Cleveland, OH U.S.A. Plastic Molding Cosmo operates 107 plastic molding machines employing screw injection, thermoset injection, transfer and compression molding methods. Cosmo is capable of molding precision parts in a wide variety of thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics including all engineering grade plastics and many exotic materials. We have the capacity to produce more than 600 million precision plastic components each year. Secondary Assembly In addition to plastic molding, Cosmo also operates 150 secondary assembly machines to perform a wide range of operations such as metal stamping, metal terminal insertion, lugging, set screw insertion, spring insertion, machining, sonic welding, hot stamping, and painting. Cosmo s annual assembly capacity exceeds 350 million assemblies. Tool Making Cosmo Corporation s facilities also include a 15,000 ft 2 tool making facility. Our staff of tool makers operates a full complement of vertical and horizontal mills, surface grinders, die sinking & wire EDM, and CNC machining centers. Cosmo can produce more than 300 new molding tools each year. Industry Leader MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES Cosmo operates the most technologically advanced production facilities in the industry. The majority of our production is fully automated to minimize or even eliminate direct labor costs. Our plastic molding and assembly equipment are custom designed and built by our own in-house manufacturing engineering department and are unique to Cosmo. Our machines incorporate advanced robotics, computer controls, LCD diagnostic readouts, and vision monitoring systems to guarantee the highest level of quality, efficiency and speed. Our manufacturing technologies are specifically designed for the high precision products we produce but are flexible enough to adapt to most of our customers requirements without lengthy setups or any software programming. UNIT DIE TOOLING Cosmo has developed a range of proprietary mold base systems uniquely suited for the flexible production of high-precision plastic components. Each of Cosmo s unit mold bases can accommodate a number of interchangeable cavity inserts. When you require less than a full mold, Cosmo can combine your part tooling with part tooling for other customers, and produce the parts simultaneously in the same mold base. Unit molding provides significant benefits including: Significantly reduced tooling lead times Lower tooling costs Lower part prices by sharing molding costs Production flexibility Faster tooling setup times with all tooling changes performed at the parting line
