A unified, global strategy

NPE 2015 (Orlando, March 23-27) will be the occasion for Nordson Corporation to introduce to the marketplace of the Americas a unified, global strategy encompassing all of the technologies in its polymer processing range, which includes four brands of production-line components for melting, homogenizing, filtering, metering, and giving shape to plastic and fluid coating materials. All four brands will be represented by new technologies, including a breakthrough Nordson EDI flat-die mechanism for sheet extrusion, new Nordson BKG equipment designs that increase throughput in underwater pelletizing, Nordson Xaloy plasticizing units that solve special problems in injection molding and extrusion, and Nordson Kreyenborg melt filtration systems that reduce downtime in extrusion, compounding and recycling.

“Nordson has put into place strong regional leadership, local production capability, support infrastructure, and sales and technical teams to provide customers in the Americas, Asia, and Europe with comprehensive solutions for all of their needs,” said John J. Keane, Nordson senior vice president. “All of our melt processing components will be available through Nordson offices worldwide and can even be sourced together as part of a package system”.

Nordson Corporation directly operates facilities in nearly 40 countries in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Thirteen facilities dedicated to the design and manufacture of polymer processing products are located in the United States, Germany, Belgium, Japan, China, and Thailand. There are also extensive polymer processing laboratory, technology, and training centers at four facilities in the United States and Germany. Reinforcing this emphasis on service is Nordson Corporation’s substantial commitment to investment in local infrastructure. “Nordson’s way of doing business is to operate in each region of the world as a local company that is backed by a strong central organization but engages customers in their own language, culture, and time zone. Our goal is to make products globally to improve service and shorten lead times, and we already have the leadership and infrastructure in place worldwide that enables us to do this”, Keane added.

Over the past three years, Nordson has accelerated new product development within the polymer processing range, as demonstrated by the innovations on display at NPE 2015.
