What is an injection molding machine? 

An injection molding machine is used to manufacture plastic, metal, rubber, and ceramic products. It consists of two major parts: an injection unit and a clamping unit.  The injection molding machine melts the material to be injected into the shaping mold, where the molten material cools off and solidifies, taking the shape of the desired component.

Key Players

Some of the major manufacturers are-

• Haitian International
• Chen Hsong Holdings Limited
• Milacron
• The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.
• Sumitomo Heavy Industries
• Arburg GmbH + Co KG
• Nissei Plastic Industrial Co., Ltd.
• Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd.
• Engel Austria GmbH
• Ved Machinery.

Segment Analysis
