Our visit to Carfi was very fun. The company is a family owned business and the daughter of the family was the one who gave us the tour. To start off the tour she brought us into a conference room and gave us a presentation of the business. There are a few interesting things that the company does. It is basically a company that produces products from scratch for a consumer. The company creates the plastic parts for any molds of products. A few examples she gave us were: the plastic parts for a fire hydrant, mugs, spray bottles, medical containers, and gardening spray bottles. The company can create molds from scratch and then send them out to produce products in bulk. There is also a branch in Poland and China. The branch in Poland is where they make the products in bulk. Carfi in Portugal produces the mold and then sends it to Poland with the quantity the consumer wants. Unlike Portugal and Poland, in China they have one person working that’s job purpose is to look around the area for the raw material at its cheapest price. All three branches work together for the same reason of satisfying the customer’s needs. Once she was done giving the presentation she showed us the factory where everything is made. The building was filled with large machines used to produce different products. We saw one machine making the medical containers. The machine made the plastic, stuck the sticker on the container, placed the lid on top, and then the gentleman working near the machine was boxing the product. It was shocking to see how fast the machine was producing the product. Continuing to see the factory, we saw large boxes filled with raw material and trucks loading more in. We also got to see the rooms where the employees work to develop the blue prints of some of the products. At the end of the trip I found it humorous how she could explain all the details about our Bridgewater State College coffee cups. She was a very intelligent woman with a great future ahead of her. I wish her family company the best of luck.
