Four new PET stretch-blow machines will be online in 2013 (VIDEO BELOW)

August 22, 2013 Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada

Consolidated Container Company (CCC) recently placed an order for three L42 4-cavity and one L32 3-cavity PET stretch-blow machines with Amsler Equipment Inc. in Richmond Hill, ON, Canada.  These convertible series machines are being installed in two different facilities. 

The new all-electric Amsler linear L32 and L42 machines are convertible because the number of cavities is adjustable.  The L42 machines can be run in 4-cavity mode to make bottles up to 2 liters or in 2-cavity mode for larger bottles up to 5 liters. The L32 machine can be run in 3-cavity mode to make bottles up to 2 liters, 2-cavity mode for bottles up to 3 liters and single-cavity mode for bottles up to 5 liters. 

The Amsler machines are all-electric with servo -actuated stretch rods, clamp, and preform in-feed to the molds.  At CCC’s request, the machines were equipped with Siemens user interfaces and controls systems.  The machines will be used to produce a variety of containers, including beverage, trigger sprayer and floor cleaner, among others.

According to Werner Amsler, President, “The order placed by CCC with us is a milestone in our history as it represents the largest single order we have ever received. We are committed to working closely with CCC in supplying state-of-the-art machines to support their growth in manufacturing PET containers.”

Amsler Equipment Inc. has been a critical partner to support the needs of the key customers of the CCC’s Consumer Business Unit. They have worked closely with CCC’s engineering group to deliver technology that fit the needs of our growing PET platform and our Commercial Services group, which is committed to providing CCC’s customers with the fastest possible speed to market in the packaging industry.”

Mag-Plastic’s withdrawal creates opportunities for Amsler Equipment

Amsler’s appointment of GMK Advisors Inc. results in increased sales

 June 28th, 2013 Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada

Amsler Equipment Inc., the only North American manufacturer of all-electric reheat stretch-blow molding machines, appointed GMK Advisors Inc. to manage sales in the USA & Caribbean 18 months ago following Mag-Plastic Machinery’s announcement that they were exiting the PET stretch-blow molding machinery market. During this short time, GMK has worked exclusively with Amsler to increase market awareness and sales in their markets.

GMK Advisors is owned by Tom Schneider and Bill O’Day, both of whom were executives of blow molding machinery manufacturers in the past. From 2003 to 2011, they were exclusive sales representatives for Mag-Plastic Machinery in the US. GMK’s history with Mag ties in directly with Amsler’s marketing and sales plans. Amsler offers a much larger range of machines (from 1 to 6 cavities) compared to Mag’s 2 to 4 cavities. Amsler’s all-electric design consumes less energy and requires less maintenance because it does not use a hydraulic clamping system. Amsler’s PET Stretch-blow molding machines can easily accept existing molds designed to run on competitors’ machines.

Heidi Amsler, sales & marketing manager said: “Working with GMK Advisors Inc. has helped us to promote and sell the PET stretch-blow molding machinery and leak testers into new accounts in the US & Caribbean, including a 4-cavity machine to Containers Plus in Barbados and 4 machines to Consolidated Container Corporation in the U.S.”

More information about GMK Advisors is available by email at: info@gmkadvisorsinc.com or by phone: 630-357-2008.
