Executive’s Corner 2015 – A Very Good Year


Welcome to the latest issue of Extrusion Solutions.


As this issue goes to press it’s been just over six months since NPE2015 was held in Orlando, FL. It would be an understatement to say this was a great show, both for ENTEK and the North American plastics industry as a whole.


NPE2015 brought in a record number of exhibitors, and almost 20% more show space was used than at the last NPE. The mood on the show floor was upbeat and we at ENTEK were especially happy with the large turnout of interested visitors to our booth, many who came to see our newest machine, the QC3

extruder. Interest in our new machine was great and we are continuing to see a lot of NPE-generated activity.


The new QC3™ platform


is one that we are truly proud to have brought


to market. It represents the best of what a team of professionals can do when they actually


ask customers what they want…

A big thank you goes out to all of our internal team here at ENTEK who worked many long hours planning and executing our NPE booth, displays and messaging. I also want to thank all of you who stopped by to see us at NPE, and we will look forward to seeing you again in Orlando at NPE2018!

The new QC3™ platform is one that we are


truly proud to have brought to market. It represents the best of what a team of professionals can do when they actually ask customers what they want, and need, in a twin-screw extruder – and then set out to provide a machine that meets or exceeds those needs.


Good Times -43MM twin-screw
