“The Swiss market is among the most demanding in the world,” said Stefan Engleder, CEO of the ENGEL Group, in his opening speech. “Many of our customers here are technology leaders in their respective fields. Collaborating with them has played a key role in advancing our technologies and services.”

The new Tech Centre includes modern training and office facilities as well as a hands-on application centre. At the heart of the installation are two ENGEL injection molding machines:

• a tie-bar-less victory electric in medical configuration with a clamping force of 500 kN

• a fully electric e-mac with 1,000 kN, equipped with an easix articulated robot.

Both machines are fitted with the full range of digital assistance systems from the ENGEL iQ product family. These smart solutions help processors increase process stability and efficiency while significantly reducing production costs.

The Tech Centre in Switzerland also serves as a medical competence centre. Here, visitors view a tie-bar-less victory electric injection moulding machine with clean room equipment.

At the new Tech Centre, customers can explore new technologies under realistic conditions, test their own applications, and develop tailored production solutions.

At the same time, the Tech Centre serves as ENGEL’s first medical competence centre outside of its production plants – a testament to the company’s strong commitment to the expertise of its subsidiaries.

Another key focus is the newly designed training centre. ENGEL offers both a comprehensive training programmer and customized advanced training sessions, including production-accompanying instruction.

“The demands placed on skilled personnel continue to increase. Only qualified and motivated teams are capable of fully harnessing the potential of a modern injection molding solution,” explained Christoph Vitz, Managing Director of ENGEL Switzerland.

The new Tech Center is integrated into ENGEL’s global structure. In recent years, the company has established a triad structure – Europe, Asia and the Americas each form independently operating production and sales regions that can offer locally adapted solutions.

ENGEL’s global manufacturing network, consisting of ten production plants in Europe, Asia and Mexico, enables the company to respond flexibly to market demands, reduce lead times and efficiently implement customer-specific adaptations.
