Engel establishes digital solutions sales team

Schwertberg, Austria – The establishment of a digital solutions sales team sees the Engel Group bundle all sales activities for digital products and solutions from the inject 4.0 program. Customers now have a central contact for all topics relating to the digitalization of injection molding production.

inject 4.0 includes products and solutions from all three areas of the smart factory: smart machine, smart production and smart service. These include the smart assistance systems from the iQ product family, shop floor management solutions by TIG, such as MES Authentig, and e-connect service solutions, such as E-Connect.24 and E‑Connect.Monitor.

“Our customers can look forward to holistic, requirements-driven consultancy for their digitalization strategy and to matching solutions from a single source,” says Dr. Stefan Engleder, CEO of the Engel Group. “The three areas of smart machine, smart production and smart service are becoming increasingly meshed. Bundling expert knowledge in a single sales team takes this development into account.” Engel’s close-knit sales network is now available to all customers worldwide with products from both Engel and TIG.

Head of the new digital solutions sales unit is Hannes Zach, previously head of sales and marketing at TIG and with the Engel Group since 2000. “Ongoing development of our sales approach helps us to ensure that our customers continue to have a fast and uncomplicated communications channel to our experts. This makes us the global one-stop shop for digital transformation in the injection molding industry,” says Hannes Zach. TIG has been a member of the Engel Group since 2016 and will continue to be managed as an independent company in the future. In the areas of development and service, TIG continues to operate independently of Engel.
