HB-Therm has appointed Arburg as a second distributor for its entire product range in Spain. With the headquarters of the Spanish subsidiary in Arganda del Rey, south-east of Madrid, and a further location in Montcada i Reixach (Barcelona), Arburg will further strengthen HB-Therm’s market presence in Spain.

In addition to the globally respected Thermo-6 temperature control units, the expanded portfolio also includes the new Flow-6 flowmeters and flow controllers. With Thermo-6 and the Gate-6 interface server, digitalisation is becoming an integral part of HB-Therm customers’ daily production processes — in line with Arburg’s machine technology.

This step is part of the long-standing and close cooperation between the two companies, which has proven successful since 1 January 2024 in Portugal and for many years across Asia. In these markets, HB-Therm is represented by Arburg in China and Hong Kong, as well as in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

Comprehensive service and sales network

A key success factor of the partnership is Arburg’s well-established and extensive service and sales network, on which HB-Therm can rely. “This secures us an excellent market position, which we intend to expand further, particularly in the important European market of Spain,” emphasises Kurt Klopfenstein, CSO at HB-Therm. “Arburg and HB-Therm have long shared common values that make our cooperation especially efficient and partnership-driven. These include the highest quality standards, centralised production at a single location, and short regional supply chains.”

HB-Therm’s temperature control technology and Arburg’s injection moulding machines work closely together via the shared OPC UA interface, enabling comprehensive data exchange and consistently advancing process digitalisation.

The partnership has been further deepened through customer-specific customisation. Special versions of the Thermo-6 units are now available as so-called A1 units. These can be clearly identified by their distinctive special colour and a screensaver featuring the Arburg logo. In addition, the temperature control units are fully integrated into arburgXworld, where all relevant information — including data from the digital twin — can be accessed.
