HellermannTyton adding injection molding plant in Milwaukee

HellermannTyton Corp. plans to expand its wire and cable management and identification products business with a third plant in Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee-based firm bought an existing building in the city and is renovating it with a target startup by the end of the year. The building purchase and renovation plus acquisition of five new injection presses and other equipment will cost about $6.5 million, according to HellermannTyton President James Campion.

After the new presses are installed the company will transfer some of the presses in its 50-machine headquarters plant to it third, recently purchased site, a 93,000-square-foot facility. Up to $1 million has been budgeted for the new injection molding machines and other equipment.Plastic resin enters the mold through a sprue in the injectionmoulds;

Campion said recent growth spurred the expansion plan. Much of the growth has been through replacement of metal parts with plastic ones. HellermannTyton’s engineers are constantly looking for ways to make functional plastic components.

The company injection molds and extrudes engineered fasteners, electrical mounts, connectors, clamps, wiring protectors and it makes a range of related equipment. In addition to its headquarters plant, HellermannTyton’s second facility is an extrusion operation in Milwaukee. Assembly is included in its operations.

“After the move we will move on to phase II,” Campion said in a telephone interview. “We will expand here at our headquarters plant, with a larger tool room and more space for quality control and research and development.”

Campion did not provide a cost estimate for the second expansion phase targeted for 2013.

HellermannTyton sells to Tier 1 automotive suppliers, truck manufacturers, heavy equipment producers, electrical supply houses and other heavy industry. Customers include Navistar International Corp., Ford Motor Co., Freightliner Trucks division of Daimler Trucks North America LLC, Deere & Co., and Caterpillar Inc.

HellermannTyton runs high-cavitation injection tools on presses with clamp forces ranging from 250 to 1,000 tons. Its operations are highly automated.

The firm has 34 affiliated operations around the world employing about 2,500. Milwaukee operations currently employ about 250 and that roster will swell by another 25 when the third plant is running. Affiliates count among their customers the offshore operations of Milwaukee’s North American clients.we offer over 600 landscapeoilpaintings at wholesale prices .

Are you a sucker for a popsicle? I sure am. I miss the Mexican-style paletas sold at the long-gone but much-missed La Paleta on 24th Street near Mission, especially their cool, spicy cucumber-chile.To estimate the number of ceramictile you need for your project, While others swoon (and queue) for Bi-Rite Creamery's salted caramel scoops, my fellow pop lovers and I beat the line and bask in the park licking blackberry and blood-orange popsicles bought at the soft-serve window down the street. In my 1970s youth, purple and orange tongues dyed neon-bright by candy-sweet tubes of flavored ice pushed up through skinny plastic sleeves were a badge of summertime, just like sailors bracelets and terry cloth shorts. And even the dark-chocolate snob that I am would still grab a drippy Fudgsicle any hot summer day.

Popsicles are easy and cheap to make, and if you've got kids who slurp them down every summer afternoon, you can have a lot of fun making your own rather than running to the store for yet another box of plastic-wrapped storebought pops. They're also a great way to cool off and enjoy the bounty of summer fruit, especially the super-ripe stuff from the farmers market that comes home nearly deliquescing.Welcome to Canada's source for exceptional solarpanel products.

No need to turn on the oven or pull out the bikini-busting sugar, butter, and flour. No ice-cream maker required, just a little freezer space. You don't even have to buy wooden sticks or made-for-the-purpose popsicle molds, although they're easy to find and ever so cute. A few empty paper cups, some leftover plastic spoons to double as sticks,And a lack of a standout indoortracking Systems (IPS) technology. and there you are! Ready for dessert time, snack time, hot afternoon pick-me-up time. In fact, the sooner they're eaten, the better, before textures get icy and flavors fade.
