SONE Products has announced it is to introduce injection blow moulding to its growing range of services, investing a further £700K at its County Durham facility.
As the UK’s only high volume supplier to specialise in both the design and manufacture of a range of plastic containers incorporating innovative application and dispensing solutions, this latest investment is to be used for the purchase of two Novapax NSB 650/110 IBM machines. Moulds, infrastructure changes and the recruitment of an experienced specialist process engineer also form part of the investment programme.
According to manufacturing manager, David Clemes, SONE opted for Novapax machinery because of the supplier’s demonstrable experience and the reliability of its equipment within the colour cosmetics sector. Novapax’s established partnerships with recognised tool makers and the logistical benefit of after sales and technical support from Germany, were all important aspects in the manufacturer’s choice. He said:
“Introducing IBM complements our existing EBM capabilities, greatly enhancing what we can offer our growing client base. With both EBM and IBM we can provide more flexibility and satisfy differing demands of our existing and new clients.
