K 2022 Preview by Negri Bossi Group GM, Craig Ward

Craig Ward, GM at Negri BossiThis year at K is a very special year for us all at Negri Bossi. Since the last K show, we have merged and become part of the same group as Nissei plastic machinery. They, like ourselves, are celebrating 75 years since their incorporation. This year we will be hosting a joint stand, also including our robot and automation division Sytrama (Roboline), in our usual location.

As such the stand will have a mix of products in order to demonstrate the diversity of our ranges as well as hinting at our future collaborations.

Nissei will bring a vertical machine and a micro-shot machine, two sectors of the market for which Negri Bossi has never served. In return, Negri Bossi is bringing a two-platen machine which reflects its presence in the high tonnage sector for which Nissei has never been active.

In addition, Nissei/Negri Bossi will bring two pre-series all-new electric machines which will be eventually destined for the European market under the brand of Negri Bossi. These machines are the first joint venture since the coming together of these two great brands and intend to reflect the synergy derived from the best in both cultures.

After almost three years of working together, K is the perfect platform for you to come and glimpse into our future.

Here’s to the next 75 years.

Negri Bossi at K 2022

Negri Bossi, Nissei Plastic & Roboline at K 2022

Negri Bossi, Nissei Plastic Industrial Co., Ltd and Roboline will be exhibiting at K 2022, which will be held in Düsseldorf, Germany from October 19th to 26th. Negri Bossi, the largest Italian injection moulding machine maker, joined Nissei Group in January 2020. The joined force of both companies and their strengths bring the following synergy effects:

  1. Complement each other to expand sales outlets worldwide.
  2. Complement each other with product lineups (from small to super large, general‐purpose to vertical/special machines).
  3. Procurements and production bases to be shared in the future.

K2022 will be the first event to showcase the collaboration between Nissei and Negri Bossi, and it will be a perfect opportunity to show their presence to the customers as the new Nissei Group. Key points of Nissei Group’s demo machines at K2022 are below:

  1. A debut of the all‐new all‐electric machine, which will be the flagship model to be released in the
    European market.
  2. A further‐advanced solution for processing eco‐friendly material PLA.
  3. A proposal to automotive industry to meet rapidly shifting demands for electric vehicles.
  4. Experience Nissei Group’s “Small to Super Large Machine Lineups (micro moulding machine, etc.).”

K2022 will be the 70th anniversary since its first exhibition held in 1952. Coincidentally, Nissei and Negri Bossi are commemorating their 75th anniversaries. As a group, the total number of units sold exceeded well over 190,000 units, and it is approaching the milestone of 200,000 units. Please come and experience how Nissei and Negri Bossi’s rich heritage and resources in the industry fused and evolved to offer new solutions.

To mark this occasion the moulding department of the growing company has acquired new machines ranging from 210t to 3000t, all capable of producing bi-material or gas-emptied parts. One of the latest arrivals is a 2700t BIPOWER Negri Bossi.

This machine is available to service Esistampi customers with a dual perspective. Testing of large capacity moulds as well as simulating the customer’s production requirements. The machine will be available for pre-series as well as production batches.

Esistampi is a company committed to investing in new technology. They continue to grow and innovate and want to share this proud occasion alongside their customers and partners.

Edwin Simmonds, Director and Husband of fellow Director Sonia had no reservations when it came to selecting machinery for his next medical project. Edwin said, “Over the years we have worked closely but not exclusively with Negri Bossi. Service and support has always been excellent and it made sense to look closely at their NOVA ET fully electric machine for this medical diagnostics project. As Negri Bossi were showing a NOVA ET 100T at Interplas we decided to travel up to Birmingham and take a closer look. On examination it was evident that the fully electric machine repeatability was in terms of cushion accuracy very impressive.

The machine was almost silent in operation and the control system and graphical user interface was practical, intuitive, and easy to pick up quickly. We were so impressed we bought the machine.”

Tony Gray, Sales Manager at Negri Bossi said, “Plasticom always set a high bar and expect its supplier partners like Negri Bossi to reach it. At Negri Bossi we knew that the NOVA ET fully electric machine would not disappoint. I did not hesitate to recommend it.”

 Sonia continues, “We were told that Negri Bossi NOVA ET fully electric machines were in high demand with orders outstripping supply in Europe. Fortunately, we moved quickly to secure this one at the show. It was delivered and installed in October and so far, it’s never missed a beat.”
