In the extrusion industry, one of the keys to maintaining a very high manufacturing efficiency is the knowledge and skills of employees. One of the unique aspects of the extrusion business is that a very high volume of bad production can be created in a very short period of time. The reason for this is because extrusion, unlike injection molding, is a continuous process, where in some cases several feet of potentially defective product can be produced in less than a second. With so much at stake, extrusion training plays a very major role in the efficiency and quality that a given extrusion company can be expected to produce.

Although a typical extrusion company will have fewer employees than its injection molding cousin, those employees have responsibility for far more throughput than a similar employee at an injection molding plant. So the importance of quality knowledge and skill training for that extrusion employee is extremely high. He or she has a potentially huge impact on the overall profitability of the extrusion company. So a modest investment in training is well worth it for the owner of the extrusion plant.
