When a person who knows nothing about the plastics industry gets an idea for a new household gadget, where does he turn? Well, to lots of different people.
When Joe Welchert visited with IMM about two years ago, he had a great idea for a new product: an attachment for a wet/dry vacuum to accomplish a variety of tasks around the house that couldn’t be done with a regular vacuum cleaner. The problem was, Welchert didn’t know anything about plastics or molds, or have a clue as to how to get his invention manufactured.
