List of Major Molding Machine Manafacturers?

[greg]

Hey all,
Thought I'd run a poll of who runs what machines. Anyone got a list handy? We want to include defunct companies that still have a lot of machines out there as well. Ie; what you're running currently. Pass any suggestions on here and when it looks complete, I'll relaunch it as a poll. Thanks!

Greg,
Just look at the nozzle pages of PPE's catalog. They have brands I've NEVER even seen....after soon to be starting my 26 year!

What I'm currently running. Engel, Niigata, Milacron. Arburg.

What I've seen or ran: Billion, Klockner Ferromatic Desma, Toshiba, Reed, Trueblood, Boy, MIR, Sandretto, Battenfeld, JSW, Nissie, Netstal, HPM, Van Dorn, Mitsubishi, Goldstar, Toyo, Standard Machine (KFD), Novou Plastic Metal, Husky, Windsor, Demag, Farrel, IMPCO, Ingersol Rand, Krauss Maffie, Kawaguchi, Netstal, Stokes,Welltec, and Sumitomo.
Some of these were built by another and sold as another company, but most of their designs were different-so I included them.
Rick.

You didn't include Borche on your list

Their the best kept secret in the molding (North American) plastics industry, they are actually the third largest IMM in the world.

We have been running 16 of their machines since 2004.
They are making a push into the North American market now. Visit borchenorthamerica.com
