Uniloy Inc. has hit three-quarters of a century mark this year. The firm says it was the first supplier of blow molding equipment in the U.S. and has grown to become the only manufacturer to supply the four technologies of shuttle extrusion blow, accumulator-head, injection-blow and reciprocating-screw extrusion blow.
As announced recently, Uniloy is emphasizing its commitment to shuttle technology in the U.S. by installing two demonstration machines at its headquarters in Tecumseh, Michigan.
Uniloy’s core technologies include UR reciprocating-screw series blow molding machines, industrial blow molding machines, UAI accumulator-head and UCI parison transfer, and UCS continuous-extrusion shuttle, UIB injection-blow molding machines, as well as molds and trim tooling.
Uniloy also offers aftermarket service and support, including parts, field service or complete machine retrofits and rebuilds.
