Cope Plastics has developed a new comprehensive training program, in conjunction with our supplier partners. The Certified Mechanical Specialist Program (CMS) has been developed to enhance the engineered plastics support capabilities of our most experienced sales professionals, for the benefit of our customer base. The training includes extensive discussion of the mechanical properties of all of the engineered plastics materials supplied by Cope Plastics Inc., including fabrication fundamentals, physical properties, innovative applications, problem solving techniques, engineering skills, plus fundamental upgrading of our sales communication capabilities to the targeted professional customer base.

This four week intensive training program includes two weeks visiting at several of our manufacturing partners manufacturing and technical support facilities for customized training, plus two weeks of training at Cope Plastics Corporate, over a period of 4-5 months. This innovative program encourages our top people to look at customer’s needs and applications in a detailed manner, and then recommend and provide the best mechanical plastic solution.

Since 2004 the program has graduated 11 Mechanical Specialists. All have fully met the requirements to be called Certified Mechanical Specialists. These talented sales professionals will lead the Cope Plastics sales effort specifically designed to generate new business (new customers, new engineered plastics applications), for the mutual benefit of Cope, our strategic partners/suppliers, and our customers. Congratulations to our newest Certified Mechanical Specialists.
