MACHINERY [ Thermoforming )]

Plate thermoforming machine quests . An excellent multilingual after-sales service and training on the thermoforming process complete the picture . A successful business confirmed by over 1,500 OMG machines currently operating
where historically we sell three or four machines a year per country . Even in leading countries such as Mexico and Colombia , governments are doing unthinkable things and sudden bans are imposed overnight , such as that you can no longer sell your products of polystyrene , PET etc . for these uses . Obviously the manufacturers who have to buy our machines are waiting for some change at the government level and then as usual they will find , let ’ s say , very creative solutions to fix the situation without compromising the business , unlike European operators , that end up buying the trays in Turkey !
For the rest , fortunately , orders continue to go very well : for example , we are delivering a line for the interiors of cutlery lockers , which will be probably followed by a second one within this year , then the machines to make subfloor sheets , another one dedicated to a customer specialising in heat exchangers : in short , highly technical products that usually , to our advantage , other well-known competitors are not able to build .”
CONSTANT MACHINE INNOVATION The pace of technological innovation is therefore around the world , appreciated for their excellent reliability and versatility . While considering that the hostility towards plastics is expanding globally , the market scenario remains positive for OMG , explains Sales Advisor Manager , Mauro Simonetti : “ We have recorded a slowdown in demand for packaging and food grade products , the sectors most under pressure , even in areas where we are traditionally very strong , as in Latin America ,
