Injection molding machine maker Engel North America has opened a new, expanded automation centre at company headquarters in York, Pa.

Officials with Engel said the centre offers 15,000 square feet of production, office area, and logistics space, providing room for increased operations. “Following a successful renovation that began in August 2022, the centre is now fully operational and offers twice as much room as before the renovation,” Engel said. “With 13 projects running in parallel, [the] expanded facility has the capacity to realize 50-70 projects per year”.

The expanded centre – which is one of four automation centres the company operates worldwide – has a team of approximately 35 members.

Engel said it delivers between 350 to 400 robot and automation products to the U.S. market each year.
