Machinery firms adjust to Covid-19
Production of injection moulding machinery has gradually restarted at locations around the world following temporary shutdowns by manufacturers responding to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak. In China, where the virus
originated, Haitian Group said in a 11 March statement that it gradually resumed work from 10 February following a shutdown. Many production processes in its plants were reorganised as part of increased health and safety measures. Haitian said this ensured the delivery of
ordered machines at the greatest capacity possible. Italian trade association Amaplast said plastics and rubber machinery producers were included in a govern- ment decree enabling them to continue, but subject to health and safety restrictions at production sites. Negri Bossi said that from
9 April its facility in Cologno Monzese, near Milan, has been using two machines to produce masks to counter the spread of Covid-19. BMB said in a 30 March statement it was restarting all activities with about 30% of staff at its
factory in Brescia. Engel has resumed
production at its Austrian plants following a shutdown since mid-March, it said on 17 April. Engel’s large machine plant in Shanghai, China restarted production on 10 February. The group’s production plant for small and medium-sized ma- chines in Pyungtaek, Korea, has been able to work without interruption. Wittmann Group said on
14 April three production plants in Vienna and Wolkersdorf, Austria, are working again following a
temporary closure. Its plant in Kottingbrunn, Austria, is due to restart on 20 April. Its plant in La Buisse, France partially reopened from 9 April. Wittmann Battenfeld USA factories in Torrington, Connecticut continued working to support essential medical customer needs. KraussMaffei said in a 27
March statement it would temporarily close its sites in Munich, Treuchtlingen, Hanover and Schwaig in Germany, and its facility in Sucany, Slovakia. It said the Netstal plant in Näfels, Switzerland, was not affected.
