A US customer decided in favor of Siempelkamp for a SMC composites press system. This is the first time Siempelkamp has placed one of its composites press equipment in the USA, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The Composites Business Unit of the Siempelkamp Group, established in the market as a system supplier for composites presses, delivers a 1,200 US t-SMC press system to the new, US American customer. The Texan company will use this equipment for the production of fiber reinforced components used in infrastructure for road construction.

It’s Siempelkamp's special expertise to supply complete system solutions for various industry applications. The focus here is on the modular press concept developed specially for composites technology with intelligent control of the four main cylinders - now equipped with the latest generation of energy-efficient drive technology. However, the company not only provides the actual press, but also develops complete systems with all upstream and downstream units for the production of the finished components.

The SMC press for the American customer will be assembled at Siempelkamp in Krefeld starting in September 2019 and put into operation.
