The company has recently invested in a new Chen Hsong injection moulding machine to support its continuous growth. This latest investment will form a high-volume automotive bearing cage production cell complete with six-axis robotics from Kawasaki.
This Chen Hsong 88-tonne model is from the Jetmaster MK6 servo-hydraulic series, where energy efficiency combined with reliability has established this a very popular choice with UK moulders.
SynthoTec’s Operations Director Wayne Williams commented: “Energy saving and competitive pricing, added to the full after-sales support offered by local agent APM, was critical in the machine selection criteria”.
Established in 1958, Chen Hsong is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of injection moulding machines. It offers a comprehensive range, with clamping forces from 20 to 6500-tonnes.
