“That approach has been validated by the sales success of the smaller systems. “When we rolled out HyPET, we included a broader range of machine sizes to appeal to new market segments,” Urquhart said. Husky has also been able to make inroads in certain markets and regions thanks to the HyPET 120 and 225 – smaller preform systems the company is carrying for the first time. Urquhart said that Husky has sold a majority of its HyPET 300 systems to European customers. “Europe, especially, has led the charge in the conversion to HyPET.” “The industry is switching over,” Mike Urquhart, Husky’s Vice President, PET and Closures, said. Since their official market rollout earlier this year, Husky has sold more than 75 systems. The common shares of the firm (HKY) traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and listed in the index compound S & P/TSX.DUSSELDORF - Husky reports strong order numbers for its new line of HyPET and Index preform production systems. Husky production plants are located in Canada, United States, Luxembourg and China. The company has more than 40 sales offices and services serving customers in over 100 countries. With one of the most extensive in the industry production lines, Husky teams serve customers to manufacture all kinds of products in the sectors of container and packaging, automotive and technical. ![]() ![]() (is a global supplier of equipment for molding by injection and services for the plastics industry. KG and is headquartered in Aretsried (Augsburg), Germany. Optipack is a business of Müller Group GmbH & co. "Working with Optipack has been a pleasure to _dice Sven Mätzig, Director General of the Center technician of Husky's Germany Sur_." "The combination of our factories in situ planning and our turnkey management and the work of the people of Optipack, with its ability to learn and master in such a short time the teams, has resulted a line of high efficiency very quickly from planning to full production". «Reflex design had a positive effect on the closure of the mold, the quality of the piece and the level of rejections», adds Dix. The design of plate Husky Reflex allows mold with less pressure of closure than other alternative systems. Husky HyPET production systems offer fast cycle times for a weight of preform and a dimension of thread more uniform and acetaldehídos levels lower than other teams in the competition. "Was commissioned in all phases of the project, from configuration of the entire infrastructure of injection molding, including technical specifications, equipment and inventory, to the interfaces of the drivers and the coordination of the installation and implementation underway". "When we made the decision to manufacture PET preforms in our factory, we wanted to take the production on line as soon as possible _dice Klaus Dix, Optipack_ project manager." Husky supported that objective. In addition to supervising the installation of the Husky team, the firm also worked in close contact with the suppliers of silos and other auxiliary components. Husky has a unique ability to offer factory planning, specification of machinery, mold design, optimization of product and process, prototyping and engineering quality for integrated installations. ![]() Then, Husky was responsible for the management of the project following the specifications of the installation, that they were not limited to specifications of machinery, but also covered cycle time guarantees, times of moulds and spare parts consumption targets. The development of the system of injection of Optipack began last year, when the Group of Husky factory programming carried out a comprehensive study of research and design for the new installation of Optipack adjacent to the plant of Müller Milch - Sachsenmilchnear the German city of Dresden. «We are very happy to have chosen to Husky.» Our new machines are faster than we expected, and its volume of production allows us to this new business. ![]() In addition, the bottles are more comfortable to drink and have an attractive much larger on the display shelves of the supermarket.Ĭount with Husky as partner, we have gained experience in molding by injection so quickly and preform effectiveness that we have also been sold to new customers. Müller Milch decided to switch to PET bottles for dairy products in order to offer consumers an easy open (and close) bottle, without the risk of leaks that they had with the thermoformed containers covered with a layer of aluminum used previously. "Our entry into the PET market was an essential step in order to meet the changing needs of our main customer, Müller Milch," says Gerhard Freudenreich, Director General of Optipack. Before the launch of the production line of Husky, Optipack had only manufactured thermoformed containers. The leap from Optipack injection technologies was an extremely bold step.
