According to Rapid Mold Solutions President Damian Kuzmin, the company’s business plan was a simple one at the onset. “We wanted to service the prototyping needs of the Big 3 and the Tier 1s that supplied their specialty component needs,” he states, “we learned how to design, build, and produce parts at the price point and timing necessary to earn a lot of business quickly”. The difficult part, as it turned out, was determining what to name the new venture. ‘Radiator Mold Shop’ just wasn’t conducive to future expansion into new markets, so from the acronym RMS, Rapid Mold Solutions was born.”
