On the strength of successful year
end figures and a healthy and
consistently growing order book,
George Utz is investing £750,000 at
its Midlands-base in a new injection
moulding machine, a handing
system and a cooling system unit. It
is reported that the investment will
enable the
manufacturer of
plastic containers,
pallets and dollies to
achieve substantial
growth in turnover
and workforce, in line
with projected targets,
into 2013 and beyond.

The injection moulding machine,
from KraussMaffei in Germany has a
1000t clamping force and will be
used to produce dollies, pallets and
containers in Polypropylene and
HDPE up to a footprint of 1000 x
800mm.
