Uniloy has purchased certain shuttle moldmaking and technical service assets and people from FGH Systems. FGH has been Uniloy’s partner for blow molding shuttle machine sales, molds and service for 30 years. It will continue in an expanded role, representing Uniloy’s complete product line of blow molding machines, molds and service.
FGH’s shuttle mold design and manufacturing assets will integrate into Uniloy’s moldmaking facilities in Fremont, Ohio, and Tecumseh, Michigan. Equipment from FGH’s shuttle tech center will be moved to Uniloy’s Tecumseh tech center, including three Uniloy shuttle lab machines (all-electric and multilayer coex) and supporting process equipment. These machines will complement Uniloy’s two reciprocating-screw and two injection-blow lab machines, expanding the tech center’s abilities for training, product and process development, and sampling for all Uniloy’s blow molding processes.
