Demand for moulding machines in Iran surges

Iran's plastics processing industry is growing rapidly and according to VDMA figures, German exports of machinery and systems to Iran were worth over EUR 90 million during 2004.

Expansion in the Iranian PU sector is generating high demand for machinery and equipment.

Krauss-Maffei's recipe for success in this market combines outstanding machine performance and reliability with competent, practical customer service and support, delivered on the spot by a local partner.

Iran's plastics processing industry is growing rapidly.

In 2004, according to VDMA figures, German exports of machinery and systems to Iran were worth over EUR 90 million.

This is double the figure for 2002.

In the field of PU processing systems, the Reaction Process Machinery division of the German plastics machinery company Krauss-Maffei has built a strong position in the Iranian market.

The recent sale of the 100th machine in Iran was another milestone in Krauss-Maffei's very successful cooperation with Karamadan, its sales partner in Teheran.

Karamadan has been the Iranian sales and service partner for Krauss-Maffei reaction machines since 2000.

Before the cooperation with Krauss-Maffei, Karamadan already had good contacts and a detailed knowledge of PU rigid foam systems.

Since 2000, the two companies have worked systematically to expand Karamadan's know-how in other PU application areas, mainly for the automotive and construction industries, but also in shoes, furniture and packaging.

Karamadan provides full service support for machines and systems shipped to Iran - from installation and commissioning to maintenance, repairs and fast spare parts supply.

The company has set up a training centre in Teheran offering Iranian customers a local venue where they expand their know-how in PU processing.

Meticulous after-sales service and support is one reason why Krauss-Maffei PU machines are in high demand.

The other is engineering excellence in their design and manufacture.

Krauss-Maffei machines have a very high reputation for performance, reliability, flexibility and quality in general.

The company's product range is as wide as the applications for PU products.

Krauss-Maffei PU metering machines are available for shot weights from as low as 8g up to several 100kg.

The company offers a wide range of mixing heads, in different sizes and for processing up to six components.

Innovative systems for the production of filled or fibre-reinforced PU mouldings are part of the product range as are oval conveyor and rotary table systems, and mixing head manipulators, all capable of a very high level of automation.

Completing Krauss-Maffei's PU machinery range are units for gas nucleation, pigment metering and premixing.
