MGS Acquires Winther Mould Technology
MGS builds its global footprint with addition of Danish health care tooling manufacturer.
Molder, moldmaker and automation provider MGS, Germantown, Wisconsin, has acquired Danish health care tooling manufacturer Winther Mould Technology A/S. In business for 56 years, Winther Mould is focused on designing, producing and servicing tools for health care clients, and its facility has a dedicated space for sampling, process development and short production runs. An MGS spokesperson told Plastics Technology that the acquisition includes 4,000 m2 (43,000 ft2) of production space and the aforementioned 3,000-m2 (32,000-ft2) test and validation center.
MGS now has 1,200 employees at 12 locations across the U.S., Mexico, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Founded in 1967, Winther Moulds’ new product development operations include design for manufacture (DFM), 3D printing of prototype molds and manufacture of high-volume production tools. As part of its complete mold/machine process validation, the company has proven out new tools and processes on customer machines running in its facility. Starting in 2018, it has sourced all its electricity from carbon-neutral windmills.
