Negri Bossi North America is pleased to announce their partnership with ITECH South (Westminster, South Carolina) to provide seven injection molding machines with Sytrama robots over the next 12 months. The equipment will be the centerpiece for the company’s planned facility expansion. Machines included in the purchase are a 250-ton, two 500-ton, one 1000-ton, two 1300-ton and one 1500-ton. In order to ensure a seamless turnkey solution, ITECH South elected to purchase complimentary Sytrama robots, which are also part of the Negri Bossi group product portfolio. The order represents a $4 million equipment investment for ITECH South.
Negri Bossi and sales representative Lorraine Trueworthy from QED Incorporated (Charlotte, North Carolina) have been working together with ITECH South President Carl Morris and his team in order to specify the best mix of injection molding presses to meet the growing needs of their customer base. The expansion will add 32,000 square feet to the company’s existing building and will include room for the seven new presses as well as new shipping, tooling storage and repair areas. Additionally, the company will add a new entrance road to access the new shipping area.
According to Mr. Morris, “As is the case for any molding business, ITECH South places great value in having a machinery partner that not only offers reliable, accurate equipment, but also provides first class service and spare parts support. Negri Bossi has already proved their ability to provide what our company needs, so when it came time to select the best partner for our expansion, our decision was simple.”
Tony Firth, President of Negri Bossi North America is delighted to be able to continue the partnership with ITECH South. According to Mr. Firth, “Our philosophy is straight forward. We supply a high-quality European product which represents great value for money. We work closely with our customers, ensuring that we provide full support services required to help them succeed.
Installation of the new presses and robots will begin in July 2015 with the last press planned for delivery in early 2016.
