The motto for this year´s trade fair appearance is again “get connected”. Besides a wide range of solutions for greater production efficiency and circular economy applications, the Austrian injection moulding machine manufacturer is presenting a global premiere: the WINTEC series, which was specially developed for the Asian market is being expanded to include a new series”.
ENGEL was an early adopter of China as a production and sales location and the first European injection moulding machine manufacturer to open a plant in Shanghai almost 20 years ago. After launch of the second brand, WINTEC – tailored to the needs of the Asian market – a second plant was opened in Changzhou in 2014. Since then, more than a thousand t-win series two-platen machines have been sold under the WINTEC brand. ENGEL is extending the WINTEC portfolio for Chinaplas, adding the t-win SE as a new series in the two-platen model portfolio; additionally, the launch of the e-win sees the first all-electric WINTEC model range enter the market.
This is an example of how the company’s dual orientation, which has been tried and tested over many years, is bearing fruit: on the one hand, production takes place within a region for that region with a view to the local markets – and with local development and manufacturing expertise. On the other hand, ENGEL offers uniform quality standards, serving the entire world regardless of where the customer purchases the machine.
