Mack Molding, a leading custom plastics molder and supplier of contract manufacturing services, announces it has made its largest investment in plastic injection molding presses in more than 25 years, with over $3 million dedicated to new presses, auxiliary equipment, and automation enhancements.
This major upgrade is set to bolster manufacturing capabilities, improve efficiency, and strengthen the company’s ability to meet increasing customer demand.
“Mack Molding has a long history of reinvesting in our operations to meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Josh Pang, President of Mack North. “This investment in advanced injection molding technology underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality, precision-molded components while increasing efficiency and productivity.”
As part of this investment, multiple new Milacron presses have been installed across Mack’s facilities. The Cavendish, Vermont, plant has added an 1100-ton and a 500-ton press, while, the East Arlington, Vermont, plant has upgraded its equipment with a 500-ton press, along with a 950-ton and a 1500-ton press replacing older models. Mack’s Statesville, North Carolina facility has also been enhanced with a 610-ton and an 1100-ton press, further strengthening its production capabilities.
“These new hybrid presses will significantly enhance our manufacturing capabilities,” said Bryan Campbell, President of Mack South. “Compared to traditional hydraulic models, they offer improved energy efficiency, reduced cycle times, and greater precision, enabling us to better serve our customers while optimizing production processes. This investment reflects our commitment to growing alongside our customers, anticipating their needs, and staying ahead of industry advancements to provide the highest level of quality and innovation.”
Mack Molding operates a robust fleet of over 120 plastic injection molding machines, ranging from 28 to 4,000 tons with barrel sizes from 0.6 oz. to 800 oz. Notably, 22 of these presses exceed 1,400 tons, positioning Mack among the largest non-automotive large-part molders in the U.S.
The advanced hybrid presses will allow for increased output while reducing energy consumption, reinforcing Mack’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing. With the additional capacity, the company is well-positioned to support growth across industries such as medical, industrial, and transportation.
