Milacron India, June 2019 We met: Umesh Pareek, Vice President – Sales Ankur Agarwal, Manager – Marketing Communications The technology is well engi- neered and customised to offer com- plete solutions to the Indian, Middle East & African customers. The pre- form system cools the preform within the tool, which is little higher in cycle time as compared to high end pre- form systems with take-out robots. However, the preform quality in terms of its dimensional accuracy is at par with any high-end system. The value preposition is that it gives the highest output / capital invest- ment for the given capital invested. The resultant benefit to the customer is the industry lowest cost per pre- form. “While high-end systems are bought as a system together with their tools, the Milacron India systems go to the customer just as machines. The customer buys the tool separately in most cases,” says Umesh Pareek, Vice President – Sales. The systems go into sectors such as the local water providers, jars, pharma, edible oil and spirits. Growth in these segments is between 8 and 10% per year. www.milacronindia.com Tour Sponsors: F.l.t.r.: Umesh Pareek, Vice President – Sales; Ankur Agarwal, Manager – Marketing Communications Building the future in every moment of your business 40 Bar Oil-Free Piston Compressors for PET Applications. hertz-kompressoren.com
