Allsop Europe
IRISH IN-HOUSE MOULDER HAVING SUCCESSFUL SUB-CONTRACT BUSINESS EXPANDS IN A THIRD DIRECTION WITH RANGE OF OWN PRODUCTS
In-house moulders, aware that their manufacturing expertise could be successfully employed in a wider market, will seek sub-contract work. Such was the case with Allsop Europe, the European subsidiary of an American manufacturing group. Set up in Waterford to produce mouldings for what has become a broadening range of components for the consumer electronics market, the company subsequently attracted sub-contract moulding; it now moulds parts for several multi-national companies in the automotive industry.
For Allsop Europe, expansion has taken a further step forward with the launch of its own range of tape/CD/DVD storage systems. With the expertise and equipment installed to produce similar products, the company exhibited its range at the recent Dusseldorf trade show with results which more than justify the installation, last November, of a Sandretto ‘Serie Nove T 165 tonne injection moulding machine.
LOW POWER CONSUMPTION MOULDING MACHINE
Whilst six of Allsop Europe’s nine moulding machines are already Sandrettos, the decision to remain with Sandretto for the ninth machine was based on two significant factors. In the words of ….. title….. John Ryan, the after-sales service is “fantastic”. Furthermore, the ‘Serie Nove’ machines have a much reduced power requirement and this obviated the need to install greater busbar capacity.
The moulding shop comprises nine machines up to 200 tonnes lock, the smallest being a Sandretto Micro 50. Ancillary facilities include de-mould robots and sprue pickers, with post-moulding facilities such as ultrasonic welding and printing.
An extensive printing capability is essential to support the new venture, permitting Allsop Europe to customize its products. At the end of the last Formula 1 Grand Prix season, its CD and DVD storage systems, moulded in the Jordan colours and carrying the company logo, were being sold at various events.
John Ryan looks with confidence to the future. “With really positive results coming out of Dusseldorf, we have a designer working on new products so that our range can continue to grow.”
