At the live e-symposium 2021 from June 22-24, Engel is bridging the gap between two major trends of our time: digitalization and sustainability. “What we need is a change in the mindset,” as Dr. Stefan Engleder, CEO of the Engel Group, emphasizes in his keynote speech at the opening of the three-day in-house exhibition and accompanying conference. “We have a broad spectrum of mature digital solutions at our disposal. Now it’s a matter of leveraging this to operate injection molding production with a view to sustainability.” Engel takes a holistic view of the entire product life cycle, from the design and production through to recycling; this is another aspect that the live e-symposium 2021 makes clear.

Shortly before the start of the live e-symposium 2021, event host Engel gave an optimistic outlook for the current fiscal year. “Our order books are as full as they last were in 2018,” reported CEO Dr. Stefan Engleder. “We have genuinely sky-rocketed out of the crisis.” At the same time, new challenges await the injection molding machine manufacturer and system solution provider from Austria, above all the current supply bottlenecks in raw materials and components. “We have evolved during the crisis,” said Engleder. “We will master the challenges that lie ahead well.”

ENGEL has provided West Des Moines, IA, custom molder i2-tech with complete turnkey solutions to fit their ever-changing needs. When it came to an increased demand for large tonnage capabilities, i2-tech tapped ENGEL for its largest machine yet.

ENGEL is inviting customers to a live e-symposium 2021 from June 22-24. For the first time, ENGEL’s traditional in-house exhibition will be a virtual event, enabling even more customers, partners and interested parties from all regions of the world to join in. Several thousand guests are expected.
