Machine builders meet pressing needs for plastic in 2020
NPE15
Injection press sales took off in 2020, helping cure what ails the United States as the COVID-19 pandemic increased demand for everything from respirators, ventilators and face masks to disinfection wipes containers, home office furnishings and sourdough bread machines.
The number of injection molding machines sold this year to produce many of those medical and other products will end up right around the 4,000-unit benchmark, according to plastics industry executives.
That s up from about 3,300 presses sold in 2019, but down compared with sales of roughly 4,250 units annually from 2015 through 2018.
Based on current numbers, Arburg Inc. President Friedrich Kanz expects at least 4,000 machines will have been sold to plastics processors in 2020.
