maximise the intrinsic quality of its machines, targeting those customers who are seeking precision, repeatability and reliability rather than the lowest price.
THE GROUP‘ S STRENGTH: NISSEI AND GMS The company’ s acquisition by the Japanese group Nissei has been an extraordinary accelerator for this strategy. Two companies, both founded almost eighty years ago, united by a culture of manufacturing excellence. „ Japanese all-electric injection moulding machines are currently recognised as the most reliable and high-quality“ explains Ghilardi. „ By leveraging this combination, we decided to enter the technical moulding sector, where low
cost is less of a concern and the final product is much more important.“ „ The synergy with Nissei has been instrumental in this new strategy,“ confirms Seminara. „ They have, by nature and mentality, a culture of continuous development and we have benefited enormously from this, being able to move into sectors that the Chinese are still unable to enter, for the moment at least.“ Added to this is another significant structural development: GMS, a new entity resulting from the merger of Nissei with another technology player in the sector, has been operational since April 1st. This industrial move will strengthen the group‘ s capacity for investments in R & D and consolidate its global competitiveness. ELECTRICITY AND E-SAPLI TECHNOLOGY: NEXT-
GENERATION ENERGY SAVINGS Regarding energy management, Negri Bossi offers concrete and measurable solutions. Switching from hydraulic to electric drives secures significant savings, especially in lowspeed cycles where the hydraulic press consumes energy even when idle. But the real highlight is the e-SAPLI™ platform, a technology that allows the same items to be moulded at lower pressures, using the right sensors to manage micrometric gaps between the mould faces so that air can escape during the injection phase, thus ensuring more uniform resin distribution. The result is a dual benefit: greater energy savings— as it is possible to mould at lower pressures— and higher product quality. This tech-
