In the 1970s, the renowned watch-maker Tissot hired
a small, Swiss engineering firm to design and build
an injection molding machine capable of producing
very small and extremely precise plastic parts.
In collaboration with the Technical University of
Biel, this firm developed a completely new and unconventional
machine for its customer.
A variety of American industries became acquainted
with the innovative new technology for producing
micro-precision parts. In the late 1980s, the American
sales representative purchased the company and located
its headquarters in Spartanburg, SC.
In 1992, two former design engineers and long-time
employees purchased the company and formed Sadaplast
Americas, Inc., as it is known today. One of their
key early decisions was to outsource many machine
components to domestic manufacturers, while continuing
to import the more unique and critical components
from Switzerland.
Over the past decade, the company has continued
to grow on its main strength: integrating automated
processes with injection molding machines.
The last decade has also seen changes in the industry.
Consolidation in the market has led many of our
injection molding customers to standardize their
machinery. Consequently, Sadaplast has received
many requests to integrate various brands of molding
machines. In recent years, most of our molding systems
have featured Nissei injection molding machines.
Its compact design and access for automation components
makes the Nissei machine an ideal choice for automation
projects. Sadaplast integrates the latest technology
into our automation designs, providing our customer
with a competitive edge in the insert molding industry.
Sadaplast today has found its niche. It remains
a small manufacturer that values the personal relationship
with its customer. Yet it provides the complete
package of design and assembly that is usually the
purview of a larger corporation. Sadaplast believes
that this balance of service and engineering ability
will ensure its continued success. |
