MGS Mfg. Group Revenue and Competitors

Moldmakers Incorporated is a provider of single- and multi-shot injection molding, blow molding and die cast tooling. The company, based in Germantown, Wisconsin, paved the way for MGS Mfg. Group, a family of specialized companies designed to work as one. The Group prides itself on building high-quality tools with quick turn around times. At the MGS Tech Center in Germantown, Moldmakers Incorporated implemented an automated cell using the Makino EDNC65s. The company originally considered upgrading to 32-tool carousels, but instead purchased a WorkMaster robot. The robot was able to triple Makino's tooling capabilities with a 192-tool carousel. "We saw this as an opportunity to put two machines together to shrink our lead time and finish molds quicker," Spitza says. "It gives us the capability of machining a core and a cavity in separate machines at the same time. "For example, we recently had a job that required approximately 80 electrodes, many of which were common between the core and cavity molds. The mold had a three-week delivery that required one full week of EDM work. The new automated cell allowed us to more easily meet the customer's needs."
