Engel opens new packaging center

Engel welcomed customers to the grand opening of its packaging center, where they can test injection molding production cells to create packaging.

Engel’s center comprises two locations in Austria — at its Schwertberg headquarters, where the packaging center focuses on cap and closure production as well as small food containers, and at St. Valentin, which has large-scale injection molding machines where production is geared toward pails and large containers. Available machines include all-electric, hybrid and servo-hydraulic models, and all are equipped with Egel’s inject 4.0 program of smart assistance systems. A variety of peripheral equipment is also available.

The company said customers may bring their own molds and materials to the new packaging center to get hands-on testing of everything from cycle time to energy efficiency analyses.
