CSI™ - Cosmetic Specialties International, LLC, based in Oxnard, CA, has recently achieved certification in ToolingDocs' Total Systems Implementation training program. Under the leadership of Product and Distribution Manager, Christopher Gedwed, CSI endeavored to undergo training via the TSI program in order to realign its overall mold maintenance practices and bring its operations up to industry best practices while cutting costs and establishing a continuous improvement environment.

The company specializes in manufacturing packaging for the beauty, skincare and personal care industries. "The TSI training, including MoldTrax for documentation and MCA's before and after, helped put the power back into our guys," explained Gedwed. "We were already a world-class toolroom, but this program helped us to tighten up our operations even more and get molds out on time. As a result, the toolroom has now become a key strength within our company."
