Strömsund, Sweden (March 27, 2019)—Engcon, manufacturer of tiltrotators (a kind of tilting and rotating quick coupler for excavators) is investing nearly $10 million in new manufacturing equipment in the next 3 years and tripling its production capacity.
Engcon’s investment in new, state-of-the-art computer numeric control (CNC) machines is in response to enormous market interest in its products. With this new production equipment, Engcon will be able to manufacture 22,000 tiltrotators per year, tripling its current output. Engcon’s new computerized and fully robotized production facility will help it meet the increasing demand worldwide.
“The new machines will be used to craft the molded frames in our tiltrotators. We will see great improvements in our efficiency, thanks to this investment, and our figures indicate that we will triple our production capacity. It will give us competitive advantages,” says Krister Blomgren, chief executive officer of Engcon Group.
Previously, some of the CNC work has been carried out by suppliers. The new machines will be managed by a local company, Strömsunds Kvalitetslego, which makes it easier for Engcon to control the entire production chain. “With this move, Engcon will gain better production control. It is also good for Strömsund, as we ensure that we keep the necessary expertise in the region. This is where our primary production occurs and to maintain our position we must invest in the best technology,” says Blomgren.
