In June 2014, Husky Injection Molding Systems hosted the first event of its Husky World Tour for 2014 – a specialty closures conference at its Technical Center in Cuajimalpa, Mexico.
This small event featured presentations and discussions with nearly 40 attendees, made up of both current and prospective customers.
The one-day event included networking opportunities and presentations from speakers including Greg Lathrop from Unilever, Anthi Balafoutis from MMC Packaging, and Javier Ortiz from IHS Chemical, discussing current trends in the design and manufacture of Specialty Closures.
Highlights from the event included technical presentations from Husky staff on topics such as specialty closure mold technologies for complex applications and using process and productivity monitoring to improve plant efficiencies.
The technical presentations offered attendees insight into solutions to some of today’s most pertinent injection molding challenges, and demonstrated the latest technologies available from Husky that respond to these challenges.
“The Husky World Tour event in Mexico was a great way for us to connect with our local customers, and featured great presentations, fantastic networking opportunities, and interesting, in-depth discussions,” said Husky’s Jaime Hernandez, GM, Latin America.
The company also presented its comprehensive range of products and services to help specialty closure customers improve product quality, reduce variability and increase efficiency.
Some of the highlights included SHOTSCOPE NX, Husky’s integrated process and production monitoring system, as well as Husky’s KTW molds, featuring EASYcube technology, which provides uptime and reliability.
The Husky World Tour 2014 is a series of global customer events taking place throughout the year, in various locations across the globe.
The tour gives both current and prospective customers more direct access to the company’s latest technologies at a local level, while providing targeted solutions to help its customers reduce variability, improve part cost and increase productivity.
Other Husky World Tour events are scheduled for 2014, including a medical conference in Shanghai, China in September, a specialty closures conference in Bangkok, Thailand and a beverage packaging conference in Casablanca, Morocco in November.
