Here they design and build plastic machinery..the machines that make plastic products. And this particular company known for speed and quality. Also called’ the Mercedes under the plastic machinery’. The machines they make are just for injection moulding, most sold in Europe. The price of one machine is between 100.000 > 1.200.000 Euro. It’s a complicated machine…What I thought was very interesting was; that the more expensive machine the cheaper the products they produce, since it’s all about speed..So the 1.200.000 Euro machine is often used to make disposable flower pots, this has to go very fast, fully automatic so it can be sold very cheap..
