Smart Molding International 2-2022

13 newsfeed www.smart-molding.com The establishment of the inde- pendent, global NETSTAL organiza- tion continues to progress under the umbrella of the KraussMaffei Group. In the most important re- gions, NETSTAL will serve customers from the medical technology and the beverage and packaging indus- tries with 12 of its own subsidiaries. By concentrating on strategic appli- cation fields, users will benefit from maximum productivity and lowest manufacturing costs. Under the leadership of CEO Renzo Davatz, subsidiaries have so far been newly established under the NETSTAL name in the United States, the United Kingdom, Bel- gium, France and Italy. The exist- ing companies in Germany, Spain and Singapore are again operating under the NETSTAL name. Addi- tional branches in Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, and China are currently still being established. The entire incorporation process is expected to be completed this year. "This is an important milestone for us, from which our customers will benefit greatly. With a total of 12 branches of our own and experts for sales and service stationed in them, we will be very close to our customers in the geographically most important markets," says Renzo Davatz, CEO at NETSTAL and member of the Execu- tive Committee of KraussMaffei. Global excellence for maximum customer success Here, a clear focus on customers' applications is intended to measur- ably increase their added value. In the face of tough competition, pro- cessors are always faced with the challenge of maximizing output per square meter of production area or per employee. Cycle time, precision and reliability are significant levers to maximize productivity and mini- mize total cost per part produced. Efficient use of resources is also rel- evant, such as low energy consump- tion or additional material savings. "NETSTAL stands for reliable high- performance injection molding of thin-wall packaging, medical con- sumables, PET preforms and bev- erage closures. In technology and application knowledge, we contin- uously strive for optimization and innovation so that our customers can achieve maximum success. We consistently embed this approach in our corporate culture, worldwide and in all phases of the customer life cycle," emphasizes Renzo Da- vatz.

"Despite all the adversities of the current market environment, it is a great pleasure to see the NETSTAL organization emerging and continu- ing to grow together. I am proud that I can rely on equally experi- enced and highly motivated man- agers for this challenge," concludes Renzo Davatz.
