Heavy-duty thermoforming with undercutting

Posted on by admin

Thermoforming with undercut enables technical plastic parts with complex shapes to be thermoformed without destroying the mold. These may include retentions, cavities, grip zones, integrated handles, etc.

This technique adds value and functionality to the part. It can increase stability, enable parts to be stacked in the same direction, or limit pollution. We develop and propose customized studies according to your needs. We then produce the associated prototypes to define and thermoform complex technical parts in great thicknesses (maximum 10 mm).

The Gender Equality Index was established by the Law on the Freedom to Choose One’s Career Future. It is a tool designed to calculate the pay gap between men and women.
This index allows companies to assess the level of gender equality out of 100 points. It is calculated based on the following criteria:

  • Gap in pay between women and men
  • Gap in individual pay raise rates
  • Number of female employees receiving raises following maternity leave
  • Parity among the 10 highest paid employees
  • Gap in promotion rates

The VELFOR Group has calculated its Gender Equality Index. For 2024, it stands at 92/100:

  • Pay gap indicator: 37 points out of 40
  • Individual pay increase rate gap indicator: 35 out of 35
  • Return from maternity leave indicator: 15 out of 15
  • High pay indicator: 5 out of 10
