US - Italy link aims for new thinking on injection moulding
A US-Italian industrial link could soon cut the cost of
setting up in metal injection moulding by introducing machines
that can handle a variety of media.
Mathson Industries, a Troy, Michigan, company providing
design, engineering and manufacture of plastics, elastomers,
ceramics and metal injection moulded components and systems
has joined forces with Negri Bossi to develop advanced injection
moulding machines.
Negri Bossi - SACMI Group is a $1.4 billion dollar global
supplier of plastic processing equipment. The two companies
are working together for the development of plastic, ceramic,
metal processing injection moulding machines. The V270-1450
(300 US tons) is currently being developed at Negri Bossi's
Milan, Italy plant. This machine will be installed at Mathson
Industries facility in Troy, Michigan in September 2005.
"By combining Negri Bossi's Advanced Injection moulding
machine technology and Mathson's plastics, metal, ceramics
injection moulding system technology we can better develop
cost-effective advanced products for our customers,"
said Boney Mathew, CEO of Mathson Industries. "Mathson
will work closely with Negri Bossi to promote the integration
of these various materials into advanced injection moulding
machines which can process all these materials in one machine".
This allows us to eliminate the need of multiple machines
for various materials and consequently to reduce capital investment.
"The market for sophisticated systems is expanding
rapidly and we are
challenged by vehicle manufacturers, biomedical manufacturers
to incorporate multiple functions, materials and components
in their systems.
"Mathson's leadership position in automotive and biomedical
systems provides us with the opportunity to collaborate in
developing the solutions to meet this challenge," said
Liam Burns, general manager of Negri Bossi. "Our relationship
with Mathson can significantly advance the acceptance of new
methods of integration and will benefit Negri Bossi's development
efforts."
"Mathson and Negri Bossi are both committed to providing
our customers with cutting edge technology, and quality products
through our proven systems.” said Boney Mathew. “We
anticipate a tremendous future for both companies".
