Kistler Announces New Sales Representation in the Southeast
Kistler has appointed Fordham Plastics as its exclusive sales representative for all products in its Plastics and Advanced Manufacturing Business Units.
Injection molding process monitoring technology supplier Kistler Instrument Corp. (Novi, Mich.) has designated Fordham Plastics Equipment Corp. as its exclusive sales representative for injection molding and process monitoring systems to the southeastern U.S. Specifically Fordham will represent Kistler in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee.
To support customers, Fordham Plastics offers process consultation, process and equipment training and local field service. The company’s technology center, located in Gibsonville, N.C. is equipped with injection molding machines and offers equipment demonstrations, process development decoupled from manufacturing operations and hands-on training classes at all capabilities, from entry-level to experienced process technician and engineering levels.
In a release, the companies said that the southeast region has enjoyed substantial growth in technologically complex molding applications, but like the rest of the U.S. is challenged with a skills gap and labor shortage. “Kistler’s products and solutions enable molders to operate at peak performance even with less experienced personnel,” the release stated.
