Oerlikon announced today that it has successfully closed the acquisition of the Italian company INglass S.p.A. and its innovative hot runner systems technology operating under its market-leading HRSflow business. Our team is working to adapt the Company Identity to the new Corporate brand Oerlikon HRSflow. The restyling of our website, and of the whole image, reflects the unified character of the Group and the new challenging opportunities that are waiting for us.

Oerlikon, a leading provider of surface engineering, polymer processing and additive manufacturing, announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire Italy-headquartered INglass S.p.A. and its innovative hot runner systems technology operating under its market-leading HRSflow business.

Entirely designed according to the lean manufacturing criteria, the new workspace completes the project with which the company has brought a reappraisal and a re-design for the hot runners' assembly process. The goal is to guarantee an increase in the production capacity and more flexibility for the clients of the European market.

The Stihl Inc. manufacturing plant in Virginia Beach, Va., was experiencing cosmetic issues with the injection molding of a curved chainsaw handle. How did the Company solve the problem? It switched from a pneumatic valve gate to FLEXflow Evo: our servo driven valve gate system.
