ARBURG France celebrates its 40th anniversary

“Our aim of establishing a global presence with our own organisations was and still remains to provide our customers with first-class and comprehensive on-site support. We are deeply impressed by what our French team has achieved over the past four decades”, emphasised Juliane Hehl in her speech. “Even back then, it was very important to my father Eugen Hehl to convey the image of our company worldwide through uniform appearance of the ARBURG buildings at home and abroad – and of course our technology and expertise”. The Managing Partner thanked the customers for their great trust in ARBURG and the French ARBURG team for their successful work. In recognition of this commitment, she presented the anniversary sculpture and certificate together with Tobias Baur and Steffen Eppler to Pascal Laborde, Managing Director of ARBURG SAS.

To commemorate this anniversary, ARBURG France laid on a multi-faceted and informative programme, including specialist presentations by its customers Com'inject and Schneider Electric France. Their speakers reported on their specific experiences with the ARBURG host computer system (ALS) and the arburgXworld customer portal, as well as with the GESTICA control system and the “aXw Control FillAssist” assistance function. In addition, two other external companies spoke about diversification strategies in the plastics industry and the potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industrial sector and corresponding customer experiences.

Those wishing to learn more, for example about the FillAssist function, had an opportunity to do so in the showroom. Here, an electric ALLROUNDER 370 A with GESTICA control system was producing small plastic boxes. A hybrid ALLROUNDER 470 H equipped with a MULTILIFT linear robot system demonstrated the automated production of closure clips. In addition, ARBURG specialists presented the latest features of ALS and arburgXworld on monitors. One highlight was the video presentation of the brand new electric ALLROUNDER TREND which celebrated its world premiere at the K 2025 trade fair in October. “With this machine concept, we are creating a new standard in injection moulding. The new electric ALLROUNDER TREND are quick to set up, particularly easy to operate and maintain and it can produce injection moulded parts extremely reliably and energy-efficiently. This was very well received by our guests”, said Pascal Laborde, looking back on the successful event. “With our mix of exhibits and presentations on current topics, followed by a festive evening in a casino atmosphere with cocktails and live music, we delighted our customers and celebrated our 40th anniversary in style”.
