Milacron and iMFLUX Agreement to Change How World Molds
Ohio Ag Connection - 10/23/2018

Milacron Holdings Corp., a leading industrial technology company serving the plastics processing industry, announced it has signed a first-of-its-kind distribution agreement with iMFLUX (a wholly owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble). Through this distribution agreement, Milacron will integrate iMFLUX into their injection machine controls with native user interface (UI) and screens. Milacron will be the first machine manufacturer to integrate and offer this capability, and has certain exclusive rights to offer iMFLUX patented processing technologies as a fully integrated package.

Milacron CEO Tom Goeke stated, "The entire team at Milacron is thrilled to announce the distribution agreement with iMFLUX." He added, "Developments and technologies like iMFLUX's are rare and potentially game-changing. At Milacron we're always looking for "what's next" and how we can help our customers succeed, and we believe iMFLUX is "what's next." The combination of Milacron's industry-leading injection machines and iMFLUX's process innovations are sure to equal gains for our most important asset, our customers."

"iMFLUX is at its heart a technology company. It began in the spirit of achieving outcomes that weren't yet possible," said iMFLUX CEO Mary Wagner. She added, "iMFLUX developed an injection molding process that broke every norm, every assumption of the conventional process. This new, low, constant pressure injection molding process creates new opportunities for the entire plastics industry. What Milacron has created with Milacron M-Powered, their suite of IoT technologies, is a perfect pairing for iMFLUX and we are ready to begin our partnership with a fellow Ohio-based technology leader as we continue to expand our work with the rest of the plastics industry."

Using Milacron's M-Powered iMFLUX module, molders can increase productivity by up to 50% on existing injection molding machines. The process is ideal for most molding applications, but is especially advantageous for wide specification materials, recycled materials, and can help a biomaterial/bio-resin work for many more applications.
