“This press was added in response to a new project from one of our customers,” said HTI Plastics President Troy Just. “This is just the latest example of HTI’s commitment to technology and to stay ahead of our customers’ needs. By adding this press, we will be able to continue pushing the limits of plastics manufacturing in partnership with this customer first, as well as other customers who need this capability,” said Just.

HTI Plastics announced that it recently purchased a new 420-ton Engel injection molding press with an integrated Engel Viper 20 robot. The versatile E-motion 1640/420 T WP US press will be used to mold products across a number of applications and expand the company’s services in a variety of areas. It was delivered to HTI’s facility in early May in two sections and was up and running by the end of the month.

Winther Mould brings 56 years of experience in design for manufacturing (DFM), mold design and manufacturing, and testing and validation to the MGS portfolio. In partnering with Winther Mould, MGS said it will add complex, premium-quality tooling and moldmaking capacity and expertise to its international network of tooling, automation, and manufacturing capabilities. MGS currently operates from 12 locations in the United States, Mexico, Ireland, Sweden, Germany and Denmark.

It’s the second acquisition of a Danish company by MGS this year. In June, it brought Technolution under its wing, a consultancy that provides R&D, regulatory compliance, quality, and project management assistance to companies in the pharma and medtech sectors.

MGS Mfg. Group Inc., a global supplier of end-to-end manufacturing services to the healthcare industry, has acquired Danish tooling manufacturer Winther Mould Technology A/S. The investment in additional tooling capacity and expertise continues its strategic growth as a leading provider of high-precision plastic solutions for pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and medtech applications, said MGS in the announcement dated Oct. 2, 2023.

“We celebrate this new growth milestone for MGS, which further strengthens our offer of unparalleled tooling capacity to ensure the seamless launch of large-scale programs. Our expanding global footprint continues to provide healthcare innovators with end-to-end support for new product introductions and ongoing production,” said Paul Manley, president and CEO of MGS. “MGS and Winther Mould share a strong customer focus and commitment to agility and reliability. Together, we are poised to deliver unmatched value, precision, and dedication to our global customers to accelerate the development of innovations that improve lives,” said Manley.

HTI Plastics operates a total of 32 injection molding presses in tonnages ranging from 30 to 1,800 T at its Lincoln, NE, facility.
