ENGEL UK’s successes have been widely reported in PRW of late and the level of votes garnered by the team led by Graeme Herlihy underlines the company’s leading position in injection moulding machine supply at present. Drawing on the impressive level of expertise available from the company’s Austrian base, ENGEL UK has established itself at moulders not previously using ENGEL equipment as well as winning further sales at existing customers. The suitability of its tiebarless machine design for moulding pipe fittings has been particularly noteworthy with ENGEL now holding a dominant position in this market. Through the ENGEL Moulders Group, Herlihy has forged a close relationship with an influential group of processors who meet regularly and are kept apprised of the latest technological developments. The past year has seen such topics as quick mould change and energy saving measures in the spotlight, while the most recent event earlier this month centred on the launch of ENGEL’s e-max economical all-electric machines. An experienced team of sales engineers covers the UK market and the company prides itself on the ability to develop complete manufacturing solutions, drawing on input from its design experts at Warwick headquarters. Voters clearly recognised the technical expertise which lies at the Austrian machine maker’s facilities and which was highlighted at K2007 last autumn with a series of breakthrough advances. The technical innovation category attracted the higher voter ratings in the PIA voting although machine reliability and quality of service and support also won high ratings.
