'''Milacron''' is an American limited liability company that manufactures and distributes plastic processing equipment for fields such as for example injection moulding, extrusion moulding, and metal injection moulding. Milacron previously operated as five distinct businesses in this field: Milacron Plastics Machinery, Mold Masters, DME, Milacron Aftermarket, and Cimcool. However, in 2015 they consolidated all their businesses under the Milacron name, and now operate these businesses as brands of the company.
+
Milacron supports the PET packaging sector primarily through its Mold-Masters product brand. Mold-Masters specializes in supplying hot runners, for standard or co-injection applications, specific to preforms, containers and caps/closures. Mold-Masters products are engineered to improve part quality, increase productivity and lower production costs.

The Milacron PET System marks Milacron’s re-entry to the PET market. The system is based on the fast Ferromatik toggle clamp and newly designed two stage injection units. The machine and post mould cooling is almost entirely driven by servo motors with hydraulics only used for ejection and injection. This means the M-PET system is the lowest user of energy to mold preforms. The system is also designed to accept legacy moulds from other vendors.

 +
 
 +
KORTEC co-injection technology is fully customizable to create a moisture gas or light barrier for containers of all shapes and sizes. KORTEC barrier technology can make up as little as 3% of total part weight and has the ability to extend shelf life of products up to 5x more than conventional methods. Lastly, co-injected parts can be produced at the same rate as mono-layer parts. Milacron provides extensive experience and a successful track record – plus a global support network.

Milacron Co-injection multi-layer technology is designed for multi-layer plastic preforms, closures or containers that can be delivered with the same high-volume production efficiency and cycle time as a monolayer plastic preform, closure or container without barriers. Milacron Co-injection molding addresses key concerns in the industry, including economical use of barrier materials (as low as 0.5%), preforms with customizable barrier properties, and uniform distribution (lengthwise and around the leading edge of barrier).

Milacron Co-injection three-layer preform technology combines PET with the latest barrier and oxygen scavenging resins. The finished PET multi-layer container can offer as much as 60 times the oxygen barrier performance of a monolayer PET container, thus providing superior shelf life of the product.

Milacron Co-injection uses a proprietary, simultaneous co-injection process with every system. This  process allows the cavity to be filled in exactly the same amount of time as a basic monolayer injection molding process. The “heart” of each system is the Milacron Co-injection melt delivery system whose function is to force melted resin into a mold cavity. The melt delivery system has separate streams (flow channels) for skin (the inner and outer layers) and core (the middle barrier layer) materials.

Reincorporated in 1970 from the Cincinnati Milling Machine Company, Milacron has grown over the years. With the acquisition of Ferromatik in 1993, DME (Detroit Mold Engineering) in 1996, Uniloy in 1998, and Industrial Machine Sales, Inc. (IMSI) along with its sister company Precise Plastics Machinery (PPM) in 2014. Milacron was formerly traded on the NYSE Arca Component and NASDAQ Component, but trading went over-the-counter in 2008, shortly before bankruptcy was filed in March 2009. This effectively ended Milacron's public trade option. However, due to the company's continued growth and success since filing for Chapter 11 (reorganization) bankruptcy, on April 3, 2015 they filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
