HF Mixing group has announced that it is expanding its Mixing Room capabilities.
This is done through strategic co-operation with B&K Wäge- & Anlagentechnik GmbH, Germany with a focus on weighing, storage, feeding, dosing of raw materials and liquids that are tailored to system requirements.
Meanwhile, HF Mixing group also announced that it has acquired Mesabi Control Engineering Ltd.
As part of the purchase, Mesabi’s experienced management team of John Beaudoin and Nora Hahn will continue to manage the business, ensuring continuing support for Mesabi’s broad customer base.
Bringing Mesabi into the HF Mixing Group will bring benefits for both the businesses and their customers. Systems automation is one of the fastest growing segments in the rubber compounding industry. However, it is also a segment with high research and development costs relative to the market size, making the market challenging for smaller providers. Also, with the growing sophistication of automation systems, HF’s global customers are increasingly demanding strong local support for HF’s products.
