July 24, 2012 –  HTI Plastics made a significant investment this year by purchasing two Krauss Maffei EX Series machines. These machines are all electric with a fast response, direct force transmission and a closed system ensuring absolute cleanliness.  Staying ahead of the competition and utilizing the latest technology has always been our goal at HTI Plastics.

One of HTI’s machines, the 150 ton model, was displayed in Krauss Maffei’s exhibit during the NPE 2012 this past April in Orlando Florida. The machine was shipped from Germany to Orlando, Florida then made its way to Lincoln, Nebraska.

“We are pleased with the new presses and feel it will keep us a step ahead of our competitors and will ultimately lead to better service for our customers and higher precision in the molding of their products and components,” stated Troy Just, division president.

In addition to the new machines, HTI Plastics enhanced its design and engineering capabilities with the addition of simulation software which tests customers’ product designs in real-world environments before manufacture.  This will benefit customers by reducing time to market and the number of prototypes needed before going into production.

As a division of PCE Inc., HTI Plastics benefits from the corporate commitment to capital investments in injection molding equipment that help maintain high product quality, while improving efficiencies and reducing energy consumption.
