It's All About Protection From Damage

MDI designs and manufactures products that provide protection to a wide range of products. Custom glass corner protectors are an example of such a product.  MDI developed corner protectors in response to inquiries from manufacturers and distributors of various types of plate glass products. They needed better protection from damage  during material handling and shipping.  For this purpose MDI developed a plastisol custom uniquely flexible, permanently plasticized glass corner protector. 
 

MDI glass corner protectors are designed to protect commercial mirror and glass edges during shipping, handling or storing. Corner protectors are well received by the plate glass industry because  this low cost product pays for itself almost immediately by drastically reducing customer in plant and shipping losses due to breakage.
 
 
Custom applications are MDI's specialty. MDI provides protection for a wide range of products and applications that include military, aerospace, automotive and even your thighs to name a few.
