Vermont Business Magazine Mack Molding, a leading custom plastic injection molder and supplier of contract manufacturing services, announced today the Company has expanded the press fleet at its Cavendish, Vermont, facility.
The addition of a 240-ton Milacron Electric Roboshot E240 press with a shot size of 10.6 ounces, and a 125-ton Milacron Q110 Hybrid press with a shot size 9.6 ounces, brings the total number of presses at the Cavendish plant to 20. Mack’s investment of approximately $325,000 included the presses, robotics and essential infrastructure support.
“These state-of-the-art machines enable our skilled team to maintain tighter process windows, resulting in superior tolerances, enhanced quality aesthetics, and more precise, consistent part runs,” said Mack North Vice President of Manufacturing Operations Rich Hornby. “This, in turn, ensures that customer programs move into production at an accelerated pace, reflecting our commitment to providing customers with the highest quality parts while ensuring operational efficiency and quick turnaround times.”
