Addressing critical challenges faced by plastic processors, the exhibits presented by Engel have been designed to elevate operations across automotive, teletronics, technical moulding, packaging and medical sectors. With a focus on sustainable practices, readily available stock machines, digitalisation for smart factories and comprehensive training programs, Engel aims to provide its customers with a competitive edge.

Many production companies face a shortage of experienced staff in operating plastics processing equipment. This often results in inefficiencies, errors, and increased waste. Engel provides certified training programs and advanced digital and automation solutions to overcome these challenges. Its comprehensive training courses cover all aspects of equipment operation, equipping molders with the necessary skills. In addition, their digital solutions are designed to support and alleviate the workforce's workload, assisting with part design, mould sampling, production, maintenance and service support. By leveraging these digital solutions, customers can optimise productivity and enhance quality while enabling machines to handle more tasks. Engel also designs and manufactures critical components for the automation of injection moulding cells. That includes linear and articulated robots, peripheral and conveyor technology as well as grippers and safety guards.

At the trade fair, Engel will highlight its extensive selection of standard machines in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The in-stock supply of UL certified machines means fast availability for the North American market and competitive pricing. Whether it's all-electric, servo-hydraulic, or two-platen machines, Engel has its customers covered. Exhibits include the E-mac slim edition, E-speed 610/90, Victory 330/85, E-motion 440H/160TWP combi M, E-motion 50/30 TL, Duo 5160/770 WP, T-win 750/7800 and Wintect-win.

Pioneer sustainable moulding

Recycling is no longer an option but a necessity for plastics processors who want to thrive in the future. The plastics industry faces increasing pressure to provide sustainable solutions that are environmentally friendly and economically viable. There is a vast potential of Circular Economy opportunities for injection moulding production. For over 15 years, Engel has been developing solutions for sustainable plastics processing that not only reduce their customers' environmental footprint but also boost their bottom-line results.

Return to NPE

During the six-year hiatus, Engel has fortified and expanded its operations, reinforcing its capacity to serve its customers better. For example, in June of 2023, Engel North America announced the opening of its new, expanded automation center, solidifying its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to the injection moulding industry. Additionally, the company has increased its workforce by more than 50 employees over the past year, leading to a record-breaking number of over 260 employees in the US and Canada. It has also added a vibrant apprenticeship program to solidify its expertise.
