Milacron's Mold-Masters expands hot runner facility in Coimbatore

Milacron Holdings Corp, a leading industrial technology company serving the plastics processing industry, has expanded its Mold-Masters’ hot runner facility in India with the opening of a new unit at Chinnavedampati in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The expansion of the production facility will help Mold-Masters, the manufacturer of the plastics industry’s technologically advanced hot runners and process control systems, to serve better the rapidly growing market demands in India.

The 10,000 square foot facility in Chinnavedampati, which was officially opened on August 31, 2015, is 4 kilometers away from the existing manufacturing facility and about 8 kilometers from Mold-Masters’ head office in Saibaba Colony. This facility will predominantly manufacture the Mold-Masters’ automotive and large part focused hot runner system – Fusion G2. The G2 product line is engineered in Europe and serviced by the Global MasterCARE team.
 
The Fusion G2’s drop-in, single point connection design ensures easy installation, faster start-ups, reliable operation and user-friendly maintenance for automotive and medium to large part molding applications. The Fusion G2 has recently added improved features including extended nozzle lengths and types, valve pin intelligence with speed control and pin position monitoring and new gate seals.

  Hans Hagelstein, Mold-Masters vice president and general manager for Europe, Middle East, Africa, and India, commented, “As India’s injection moulding market continues to grow, so too will the complexity of the moulded products the region produces. With complex products come increasingly complex moulds and an increased reliance on hot runners, which is where Milacron’s Mold-Masters brand excels. Whether the mould is simple or incredibly complex, we produce hot runner systems that meet these individual needs, ensuring efficiency, accuracy and reliability.”
 
The hot runner facility expansion is one of the latest milestones for Milacron, which has continued to push the boundaries of possibilities in plastics with breakthrough products from leading brands including Milacron, Mold-Masters, DME, Ferromatik, Uniloy and CIMCOOL.
