Kasai UK invest in new Negri Bossi machine for automotive parts production

by

Kasai UK, formerly R-TEK, has invested in a new Negri Bossi injection-moulding machine for the production of plastic interior components for British-made vehicles.

The new V800-4250 Vector series machine will replace an older Negri Bossi model as part of Kasai UK’s ongoing machinery replacement programme.

Specified with integrated hot runners and a special profile screw, the machine will produce automotive interior trim components at Kasai’s plant in Washington, Tyne and Wear, for supply to Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK and Honda UK Manufacturing.

“We find Negri Bossi very competitive in price while still supplying a high end machine,” said Kasai UK’s Senior Facilities Engineer, Rick Dyball.

“Their machines are flexible but robust enough to meet our changing demands. We have worked successfully with Negri Bossi for over 20 years and look forward to many more.”

Kasai UK employs over 600 staff at its Washington facility. It also has another plant in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. The parent company, Kasai Kogyo Co. Ltd, became sole owner of R-TEK in 2012, with the name change recently made to reflect the company’s position as part of an international group.
