Here at HTI Plastics, we have a state-of-the-art plastic injection molding manufacturing facility with 25 Krauss Maffei injection molding presses, 5 Sodick molding presses, and 1 420 ton Engel molding press. These molding machines range from 55 ton to 1,800 ton. The Krauss Maffei German engineered presses offer outstanding precision, high quality, dynamic responses and the fastest dry cycle times in the industry. We also utilize a computerized material distribution system and have on-site silo storage of resin.  While Nebraska has some of the lowest energy costs in the nation, we knew we could reduce are costs even more by transitioning from hydraulic presses to all electric.
