Why“ Cannon Do It Better”?

Dear reader, when, in the Editorial Committee meeting, we asked ourselves how to title the most important Cannon News of the year – this number, distributed at the K 2016 show – we immediately thought to a straight message for our clients, those who make our success possible every day. Those clients who keep rewarding us and our commitment by choosing Cannon once more.

Why do they do this?

Because we are increasingly at their side with our Local Offices and our Global Customer Service? It ' s not enough, even if we have in the past three years opened four new Companies in South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam and United Arab Emirates only to improve our commercial and after-sales service in those areas, and we are today present in 33 countries with more than 120 Service Engineers.

Or because we are always available to study and solve the problems that our clients are presenting us, offering innovative and efficient solutions? Not only, even if in the past three years our R & D Team allowed us to propose innovations that are already milestones in the plastics processing technology:

· VAI( Vacuum Assisted Injection) – the technology that allowed Cannon to be the first using vacuum in combination with conventional and new blowing agents for Polyurethane foams.

· JL Vector – an innovative mixing head, revolutionary in the field of Polyurethane foam injection.

· TRIPLO – A Patented plate adjustment system for industrial thermoformers that allows an effortless adjustment of the moulding area at every mould change.

· CRESIM – The new frontier for recycled Carbon fibres: Cannon proposed already a series of eight projects for the industrial use of recovered Carbon fibres, with stunning structural and efficiency performances.

Or because we are always able to find the best solution in terms of Quality vs. Price ratio, to satisfy the needs of our clients? May be, but that ' s not the main reason. The truth is that clients all over the world keep choosing Cannon because Cannon Do It Better!

We have understood that message, we are aware of it, we want to explain it to you while we thank you for your continuing preference.

During the K 2016 Show in Dü sseldorf you will be able to attend, at our Booth B76 in Hall 13, a series of workshops pertaining to all the Cannon technologies in the plastics field. See here, on the facing page, the detailed program of our meetings.

Come and see us, we will listen to your requests, present our solutions and find a satisfactory answer for your production needs … assisted by a good dish of original Italian food.

We are waiting for you, at K 2016!
