Husky Technologies has acquired secondary injection unit and rotary platen technologies from MGS Healthcare Manufac- turing (MGS), a provider of healthcare manufactur- ing solutions.


It says the move OPmobility produces a wide range of automotive components


1% in global automotive production. The company says it typically out-per- formed the market in each of its regions: in Europe, where auto production fell around 5%, it reported flat sales; in North America, which declined by around 2.5%, the company grew by nearly 8%; but in Asia, which grew by 0.5%, it declined by around 1%. The company expects


automotive production to be stable in 2025, but with strong differences between regions. There are also uncertainties over the consequences of potential regulatory evolutions – es- pecially trade tariffs and CAFE standards. In addition, the company says it is on track to attain scopes 1 and 2 carbon neutrality from 2025. �www.opmobility.com


strengthens its position as a provider of integrated multi-material solutions in industries, including medical, packaging and consumer electronics. It enables the integra-


tion of precision secondary injection units and rotary platens with Husky’s Altanium mould controller technology. Integrating these multi-shot technologies raises Husky’s ability to provide tailored solutions for the production of multi-material and multi- colour applications, it said. � www.husky.co


Collaboration makes recycled products


Elix Polymers has teamed up with Repsol and Anqore to produce a range of recycled products. It signed agreements with both companies in 2020 to ensure supplies of more sustainable materials. Elix’s E-Loop CR products are made using sustainable and certified raw materials that incorporate circular and bio-circular feedstocks. The products hold ISCC-plus certification, ensuring traceability and transparency across the supply chain. Different feedstock combinations


are possible, as there are three alterna- tive sources (fossil-based feedstocks,

chemically recycled post-consumer waste and bio-circular feedstocks) for the three main monomers (acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene). In addition, E-Loop CR can help


reduce the CO2 footprint by promot- ing sustainable and circular feed-


stocks, which have lower GHG emis- sions than conventional materials. For the toy industry, Elix ABS E-Loop M220 CR100 uses the sustainable version of acrylonitrile from Anqore. �www.elix-polymers.com �www.repsol.com
