Milacron Injection Molding and Extrusion has made an equipment donation to bolster its ongoing partnership with Shawnee State University in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Milacron donated a 55-ton MTs injection molding machine with a mold temperature controller, two conveyors and a dryer, and a 110-ton Roboshot Alpha-SiA-g injection molding machine with cell robot automation, temperature controller and dryer. The equipment, which had previously been on loan to the university, gives students hands-on training experience.
“Milacron values its longstanding partnership with Shawnee State University, and, with this donation, we hope today’s STEM students will be empowered to be our future leaders,” said Mac Jones, Senior VP of Hillenbrand Inc. and president of Milacron.
Based in Cincinnati, Milacron manufactures injection molding, extrusion and auxiliary equipment, and is part of the Hillenbrand portfolio of companies.
