Engel – well equipped for our globalized future

Dr. Peter Neumann: "Engel has over the past few years developed continuously to become a globally operating and globally producing manufacturer of plastics processing machines – completely independently and through organic growth alone." Injection moulding machines, automation systems, technology and service "made by Engel" are today an internationally recognized yardstick for economical and innovative plastics processing. The last business year 2000/2001, which in Austria ended on 31st March, was one of dynamic development and enormous growth for Engel. Of the total sales of EUR 589 million, well over half (61 percent) was generated in Europe. North and South America together accounted for approximately one third (32 percent) and Asia 5 percent. The remaining 2 percent were spread over Australia, Africa and the Near East. In high jump terms, the crossbar is at a record height and will take some beating in the coming business year.
