The main characteristics of European plastic machinery and rubber processing machinery industry are as follows:
High output, less defective products, timely delivery, long product life and short delivery cycle are the main advantages of European rubber and plastic processing machinery manufacturers. The above advantages can effectively reduce production costs. At the same time, at the beginning of its establishment, European machinery industry has begun to adopt the guidelines of precision, process unification and stability, plus the characteristics of flexible and integrated product design, which can meet the needs of customers to a greater extent.
In Europe, there is the European Rubber and Plastic Processing Machinery Association, which is mainly composed of rubber and plastic processing machinery manufacturers from Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, all of which are members of the European Council of Rubber and Plastic Machinery Manufacturers (EUROMAP).
In order to achieve efficient production, mechanical design is very focused on full automation. In addition, mechanical manufacturers often develop innovative tools, high-precision robots, peripherals and logistics components with auxiliary equipment manufacturers to further consolidate the important position of European rubber and plastic processing machinery in the international market.
Price is often not the main consideration for European customers to buy Rubber and plastic processing machinery, but other variable costs, such as raw materials and energy costs, are the real concern of customers, because these variable costs far exceed the cost of investment machinery. At the same time, European plastic machinery manufacturers have invested a large amount of resources in the development of new technologies, including new pumping technologies and innovative driving concepts. It is reported that more than 45% of global patents are owned by Europeans.
