MGS Events January 2009 June 2009 October 2009 --------------------
January 2009: MGS Implements Blow Molding at TecStar de Mexico In addition to offering injection molding, combined with assembly and other secondary operations, TecStar de Mexico is thrilled to add blow molding services to its line of capabilities. “Implementing blow molding at TecStar de Mexico brings progressive technology to the Mexican market”, says MGS Vice President Dave Sansone. “The blow molding capabilities will generate new business and create the potential for future expansion.” Production space has been allocated for a second blow molding cell, which the company intends to acquire in the near future. The current blow molding cell features a Bekum H-155 machine, a double station machine with automated deflashing that will initially produce blow-molded parts for the consumer market. With the addition of extrusion blow molding technologies, TecStar de Mexico can offer the production of custom bottles and injected molded closures in one facility, mirroring the capabilities of TecStar Mfg. Company in Wisconsin. To help prepare for production, staff members incurred weeks of on-site training at TecStar Mfg. Company in Germantown, Wisconsin. This also involved disassembly, crating, and shipping of the blow molding cell, which they then reassembled at the facility in Mexico. Additionally, tool room personnel were trained in mold maintenance. TecStar de Mexico, located in Chihuahua, Mexico, was acquired by MGS Mfg. Group in January 2008. MGS Mfg. Group’s other production molding facilities are located in Wisconsin and Illinois. --------------------
