Moldflow Corporation, the leading global provider of design through manufacturing solutions for the plastics injection molding industry, today announced a distribution agreement with Martiplast, distributor of peripherals for the transformation of plastics in Europe. Per this agreement, Martiplast has added the Altanium® Hot Runner Process Controller to its product line-up, and its sales force will distribute it in France, Switzerland, Tunisia, and Algeria.
Altanium allows precise control of hot runner temperatures for two to 255 zones. Its unique modular design allows maximum configuration flexibility. Users can choose between three different interfaces that are interchangeable and four mounting modes that are adaptable to any injection molding machine. Ease of use, refined ergonomics, auto-diagnostics, low cost of maintenance and a small footprint all make Altanium one of the world’s leading hot runner temperature control products.
Sylvain Battung, country manager for Moldflow Manufacturing Solutions in France, commented: “We are excited to have Martiplast as our distribution partner for Altanium. Their 34 year history of innovation and competitive pricing in France has won an excellent reputation for them within the plastics industry. We are very confident in this brand new partnership.”
Hervé Carlod, chief executive officer of Martiplast, said: “To distribute a Moldflow product is a real opportunity for Martiplast. Indeed, Altanium is not just another hot runner controller available on the market, but a real new solution to be offered to our customers, to solve or improve production problems due to sensitive and difficult temperature control. Moldflow’s technical competence assures us quality and success; therefore it is with a great enthusiasm that we start this collaboration. To be chosen by a global leader to promote and distribute its product line reinforces the position of Martiplast as a first rank services firm.”
