Injection mould components supplier DME, which is a division of Milacron, has linked up with another American tooling and technologies company Plastic Engineering & Technical Services (PETS). The aim is to combine PETS' hot runners, plastic processing technologies and analytical moulding services with DME's global sales structure and distribution network.
The first outcome of this strategic alliance will focus on moulders in the medical and high-volume consumer markets, and the first of a series of patented hot runner nozzles, sequence controllers and temperature controllers will be released next month. Other technologies in the final stages of product development are currently undergoing beta-testing.
An additional facet of the co-operation is that PETS has a manufacturing base in south east China, which will give DME more access to companies in Asia.
