Schwertberg/Austria – October 2007. In order to strengthen its market appearance in Brazil, ENGEL founded their own sales office in Sao Paulo on 17 October 2007. Starting on 1 January 2008, this will be managed by a new manager from the plastics industry who also has market experience.
In the meantime, HDB Representações Ltda., which have been a trade mission for many years, will manage the company and will be completely integrated in the new company.
With a total of 15 employees in Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre and Joinville, marketing of machines that have been produced at the ENGEL locations of China, Korea and Austria will occur here. As a result, Brazilian customers gain access to an extensive range of products that is focussed not only on modular, tie bar-less machines and large dual-platen machines, but also on the fast-cycling series speed and the fully electrical e-max and e-motion series.
Effective team on location
At the Sao Paolo location, the showroom will be used for testing the machines. In addition, the locations will be supplemented by extensive spare parts warehouses. With the development of its own branch in Brazil, ENGEL will continue the successful work for HDB, who sold nearly 1,000 injection moulding machines and more than 100 robots in the Brazil market, to satisfy the desires of many customers to increase the application-related consulting.
