Sumitomo has established an excellent market position in Asia and North America with high-performance, technically mature injection moulding machines. In the Asian market, every fourth electric injection moulding machine is a Sumitomo machine. Since the 1990s, Sumitomo has been concentrating on the development and production of electric injection moulding machines and is now undisputedly one of the technology leaders in this field. The decisive competitive advantage is the consistent use of expertise and key technologies within the Group – in particular the electric drives that are specially developed for injection moulding.
