BMB expansion enables it to build larger machines in Italy
Injection moulding machinery maker BMB has added a fourth production unit at its Italian headquarters in Brescia, following an increase in market share. The new production building covers more than 6,400 m² and will be used for the assembly of medium and large injection moulding machines. It is equipped with four cranes with a capacity of 100 tonnes and an automated painting department. The expansion at Brescia enables BMB to produce larger tonnage machines. Its existing range from 100 tonnes to 3,500 tonnes clamp force is being extended up to 4,500 tonnes clamp force. Two 4,500 tonne models are in the final assembly stages in the new production unit.

Many of the major BMB components are made in-house, or supplied from within a small radius of its headquarters, with all proprietary components sourced in Europe. All raw materials for parts such as platens and bases are made from Italian steel, it said. BMB’s investment in the

recent restrictions relating to the Covid-19 pandemic implemented by various

BMB has provided telesales support for all of its customers remotely since 2001, which it says is free-of-charge for the life of the machine. �
