As Walter explains, “From the very outset, my aim was to make i-mold’s highly wear-resistant, flow-optimized tunnel gate inserts an essential component for toolmakers around the world. These inserts, over 180 variants of which are now available, enable virtually invisible gating from below or the side. Today, thanks to our distribution network, we have customers in 33 countries across all sectors. We are currently producing over 15,000 units per year, and demand is constantly growing.”
Walter’s goal for the immediate future is to expand the number of tunnel gate insert variants in i-mold’s proprietary product range so as to be able to meet still more demanding challenges. Another intention is to increase in-house vertical integration and so improve flexibility in supplying customers. And there’s a further noteworthy current project - automatic sprue removal in the closed mold to offer still more user convenience.
