Innovations mean progress and continuous development in order to maintain and significantly increase competitiveness on the international market. HASCO has, from the very beginning, therefore supported two mouldmaking competitions in which the prize-winners are determined on the basis of special achievements.
The German competition "Excellence in Production" (EIP) in Aachen – which HASCO traditionally supports as the main sponsor – appraises, for the participating mouldmaking companies, various data from the fields of finance, customers, products, processes, resources, organisation and strategy & management. In the benchmarking, the participants thus obtain important information as to where their strengths and weaknesses lie compared with the segment as a whole.
On the UK market, the Plastics Industry Awards (PIA) has become firmly established as a forum for recognising and rewarding outstanding achievements in an increasingly competitive environment. In London, the best companies and their employees receive awards in the fields of innovation, sustainability and exceptional achievements for the industry. Here, too, HASCO acts as the gold sponsor and rewards the commitment of the participating companies.
At the EIP in Germany, Oechsler AG from Ansbach was able to establish itself this year as the overall winner. At the PIA in England, the winner in the category "Supplier Partnership Toolmaking" was the long-time partner Adreco Plastics, which succeeded in carrying out a global project together with its customer Global Access Diagnostics and with the support of HASCO Internorm. Being able to cooperate closely with the best in the industry is both a motivation and a distinction. The joint HASCO team warmly congratulates all the winners and finalists and wishes them further success in the future.
