The Japanese machine manufacturer and polyurethane specialist MEG-MARUKA has long been a partner of Hennecke GmbH. The two companies’ business cooperation in the field of technology and sales goes back to 1982. Ever since, they have represented their common interests in Japan together, offering their customers regional service all over the Asian continent. At an open house event in September this year, they presented their joint success in the form of innovations and novelties to a wide audience.

MEG-MARUKA and Hennecke are not only linked by a long alliance. Both companies enjoy an excellent reputation within the polyurethane processing industry and have a vast potential of technological competence.

This was reason enough to present the wide range of machine technology and services at the “PU-Tech Days” that took place for a second time at the MEG-MARUKA plant near Nagoya (Japan) on the 7th and 8th of September. A year after an extremely successful start of the event, customer interest was even stronger. On both days, interested polyurethane processors from all over Japan and Asia and representatives from the Japanese specialist magazine “The Foam Times” came to Nagoya to attend the product presentations and live demonstrations. The first day was mainly directed at customers in flexible foam processing, whereas on the second day customers were more interested in rigid foam applications.

Detailed and interesting presentations gave the visitors an insight into various new products as well as pioneering innovations. Product specialists from both companies jointly presented the advantages and USPs of their respective product portfolio. The main focus was on a WKH oval conveyor plant for manufacturing foamed seating, on the additional units CARBOMAT and PENTAMAT and on several applications from sandwich panel production in a batch process. Between the presentations, visitors were able to find out more about the advantages of QFOAM at live demonstrations, where different seat cushions were foamed using a mixhead from the new MT series.

The success of the event has already been proven by many detailed inquiries about the products that were presented. One more reason to continue with the event next year in close cooperation with MEG-MARUKA, and to make it a tradition within the partnership and cooperation of the two companies.
