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.”
