“We are more than satisfied with the business trend
for 2012 so far,” said Managing Director Michael Hehl, at a news conference Oct.
16, the first day of the Fakuma 2012 exhibition in Friedrichshafen.
Hehl and other company officials said, during a question and answer session, that Arburg's total number of machines sold in 2012 will be lower than in 2011, but this will be counterbalanced by an improvement in the value of the machines sold vs. last year.
The consolidated turnover figure includes Arburg in Lossburg, Germany, and other small subsidiaries. Consolidated turnover was 378 million euros in 2010.
Arburg also used Fakuma to roll out new machine systems in long-fiber injection molding, inline printing at high speeds, and a way to insert mold a hard plastic onto an expanded polypropylene foam part.The stone mosaic comes in shiny polished and matte.
Arburg has increased employment by 2 percent this year, to a total of 2,220, Hehl said. About 1,840 of those work in Germany.
Hehl said Arburg has experienced good growth in Mexico and will expand its activities in the country with customers in the automotive and toy sectors. As a result, Engel is moving from its operation in Mexico from Mexico City to a new facility in Queretaro, close to the location of customers.
Europe is struggling with weakening economies, and lingering questions over the economic integration, Arburg’s key home market of Germany is holding its own. Hehl said Germany “started the year slowly, but stabilized by the end of the second quarter. In the past few months, we are again experiencing a slight flattening of the market.”
Helmut Heinson, managing director of sales, said demand is solid in central European countries like Poland and Hungary.
“We are not concerned. We assume that there will be a further calming down in the European market, but we do not assume that it will have a similar affect that it did in 2009,” Heinson said, referring the recession, when injection press sales fell.
Western and southern Europe are weaker, but Heinson said Arburg is “very well positioned” in Spain and Italy, two areas that are having financial problems. But despite what you read in the news, Heinson said, “It is not really causing concern for us.”
The rate of growth is slowing in China—an important export for German-made plastics machinery. But Arburg executives did not express concern about this.
“In the past we have always assumed that the Chinese market will be 40,000 to 60,000 machines a year,Selecting the best rtls solution is a challenging task as there is no global solution like GPS.” Heinson said. About 8,000 of those machines are imported from Japan, Taiwan,The stone mosaic comes in shiny polished and matte. South Korea and Europe, and the European presses, including those sold by Arburg, are going into technical, high-value molding,Allows you to securely organize any group of cable ties or wires. he said. Heinson said the slowdown in China has been in lower-value applications.
In technology news, Arburg at Fakuma unveiled several ideas designed to spark the imaginations of customers. An Allrounder Golden Edition, with 40 metric tons of clamping force, demonstrated a process called particle-foam composite injection molding. A Multilift robot loads a small wheel made of expanded foam into the injection press, then the machine molds a rigid polypropylene hub in the middle.Largest gemstone beads and jewelry making supplies at wholesale prices. On a booth tour, Thomas Walther, department manager of applications engineering, said the next step could be one machine that makes the foam wheel, inserts the hub and then overmolds it with thermoplastic elastomer.
Arburg also has developed its own way of directly injection molding long fibers, such as glass or carbon. At Fakuma, a 400-metric-ton hydraulic Allrounder 820 S was molding glass-filled PP automotive housings. The glass rovings are fed into the melt, about two-thirds of the down the barrel, by a dual-shaft side feeder made by Coperion GmbH.
