The Plastek Group purchases equipment from Sodick

The Plastek Group has announced the purchase of equipment from Sodick, a specialist in precision EDM technology.  

This decision comes after an evaluation process led by a team of Plastek’s toolmakers and stakeholders, in collaboration with counterparts in Brazil.  

“Our main objective throughout this evaluation was to identify the equipment manufacturer that we could partner with to meet The Plastek Group's long-term needs, in North America and Brazil.” said James Jergens, tooling general manager. 

The evaluation process comprised 32 key points of interest, encompassing machine test cuts, service availability, accuracy, long-term pricing, and equipment availability. Sodick's reputation in precision EDM equipment and their dedication to providing support and service solidified them as the partner for the company’s expansion efforts. 

The Plastek Group anticipates the new equipment's delivery in September. Implementing Sodick's Wire EDM, Sinker EDM, and EDM Drill will bolster productivity and enable the company to pursue new opportunities and address the ever-evolving demands of the global market.
