As part of a continued investment in North America, Negri Bossi are building a new 36,000 sq.ft facility located in Plymouth Twp., Michigan. Building work commenced in June of this year with completion and move in anticipated for January 2018.
The new facility will comprise:
Injection molding machines will be adapted on-site to customer specification, improving delivery times and providing more flexibility. The large demo and tool trial facility is being designed to provide an excellent customer experience and an increased level of spare parts storage will further improve response times.
Enhanced training facilities were a large consideration in the building design. Collaboration with local Votech (technical school) will allow technical training to be provided on demo machines and in the classrooms. A local university will also use the classrooms and machinery for laboratory work. Third party process training seminars are planned and annual mini-exhibitions will feature complementary equipment suppliers.
Sytrama robots (sister company of Negri Bossi) will be sub-assembled in the new facility, utilizing US sourced components. This initiative will improve service response and delivery times to the market.
This investment signifies Negri Bossi’s commitment to the North American molding industry.

Negri Bossi used the FIP 2017 exhibition in Lyon to present their latest technologies, where they occupied a 143² booth. The exhibition, which was held from the 13th to the 16th of June, was very successful for Negri Bossi with the team welcoming many customers, both old and new.
The star of the show was the recently launched ele all-electric 180 tonne machine, producing a complete ping pong bat utilizing a new FMC (foam molecular molding) process. The main injection unit injected a PBT material to produce the body while a vertical electric injection fed a soft TPU handle. One of the bat faces was molded in a foamed LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) to produce the ‘spongier’ side of the bat and the firmer face was produced in a standard LSR material.
The LSR materials were fed directly into the mold from injection lines ‘EasyBalance LSR’ supplied by Guzzini Engineering, with a special process for producing the FMC material. The moldings were handled by a 6 axis Robot supplied by Negri Bossi Group company, Sytrama. The mold was manufactured by Esistampi s.r.l.
The FMC process proved to be the most interesting application at the show attracting both customers and competitors alike.
There was also a 250 tonne Canbio st servo hydraulic machine molding an eight impression PP lid in a nine second cycle time.
The 21st International Fair of Plastics and Rubber Processing PLASTPOL, is being held at the Targi Kielce Exhibition & Conference Centre from the 23rd – 26th of May. It is now one of the most significant events for Europe’s plastics processing and rubber manufacturing sector.
Negri Bossi, through their agent NTQ, will be showing two very exciting machine applications on booth E64 occupying a 250m² floor area.
An all-electric 180 ton machine from the new ele series will be running a unique foam microcellular molding process, producing a complete ping pong bat.
The 180-630 machine is injecting the body in a PBT material from the main 45mm plasticising unit, while a vertical electric injection unit will be feeding a soft TPE handle. One of the bat faces will be molded in a foamed LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) to produce the ‘spongier’ side of the bat. The firmer face will be in a standard LSR material. The LSR materials are injected directly into the mold from a dosing unit system equipped with a special process for producing the foam microcellular molding material. The moldings will be handled by a 6 axis Robot supplied by Negri Bossi Group company, Sytrama. The mold is manufactured by Esistampi s.r.l.
The second Negri Bossi machine is a 250 ton Canbio st servo hydraulic model, molding a four-cavity 300cc polystyrene drinking glass. The machine is equipped with two 3-Axis Sytrama robots. The mold is manufactured by New Tresing Stampi s.r.l. A model S9 will remove the moldings from the machine. A second S10 model will take the glasses from the S9 and fill them with juice to demonstrate the accuracy and stability of the robots.
We welcome all customers, both old and new, to come and view our market leading technology.
