 Kintz won top honors at the 2005 Tina competition

Kintz won top honors at the 2005 Tina competition this year for the best heavy gauge Industrial entry (shown at right), and the best heavy gauge Medical entry.

Thermoforming Institute National Awards (TINA). The competition was held in Naples, FL and was attended by both heavy gauge and thin gauge thermoforming manufacturers from across America. Kintz entries won first place in both the heavy gauge Medical category and the heavy gauge Industrial category.

The entry winning top prize in the heavy gauge Medical competition was a complex assembly consisting of 12 different thermoformed parts which required 14 different molds. Ten of the parts were pressure formed, one twin-sheet formed and one vacuum formed. The complete assembly showcases the outstanding thermoforming capabilities of Kintz Plastics. This mammography system uses high-quality, near real-time, digital imaging and proprietary image processing technology to detect abnormal blood vessel growth associated with breast tumors. This system doesn’t require radiation or applied pressure to the breast typical with traditional and uncomfortable mammography systems.
