Formech’s Latest Semi-Auto Ranges Wow At Fakuma 2012
Fakuma is a key trade event for the EU plastics processing industry with approximately 1,700 exhibitors and visitor attendance in excess of 40,000. Approximately 65% of exhibitors are domestic companies emphasizing the very sizable German plastics market. Formech was proud to represent the finest UK engineering and 30 years of vacuum forming machine design, demonstrating our latest developments with the HD686 and 1372 ranges.
Formech Managing Director, Paul Vukovich commented:
“I am excited with the huge interest we received in Formech’s semi-auto range in such a strongly contested market. Formech’s no compromise approach to using quartz heaters and Mitsubishi’s logical touch screen across the range sets a benchmark at the price. This resonated strongly with existing and new clients requiring high performance at very accessible price points. Application queries were as far and wide as automotive prototyping to packaging, design and architecture.”
Germany Market Manager, Jeannine March explained:
“Since the formation of Formech’s branch office here in 2010 my feet have hardly touched the ground! Despite strong competition from the long-established domestic brands, Formech’s reliable, user focused and cost-effective machines–coupled with a helpful and friendly approach–is proving very attractive to existing and new customers in Germany. Formech’s presence at major European events hosted in Germany such as the K Show and Fakuma underlines our commitment to the EU market and keeps us close to our customers from whom we are continually learning.”

Formech’s uniquely flexible approach to machine design and customization were a big hit with customers looking for a fully optimized solution at a sensible price. One visitor in particular, looking to buy a machine to form small run specialized automotive parts, expressed delight in how easy the Formech machines were to use. Understanding his application and quantity requirements enabled us to quote on a cost-effective semi-auto bespoke size machine for his needs. The end result was an ideal solution at a price that fell within his budget and proved considerably cheaper than the ‘take it or leave it’ large standard auto solutions offered by other manufacturers.
More testament to our fine array of machines that fit market demand for a variety of application requirements, with huge international growth driven by our branch offices in US and Germany and a carefully selected network of very supportive re-sellers, 2012 is a record-breaking year for Formech in global machine sales.
