The global market for rubber injection moulding machines is expected to show steady growth during 2018, according to leading suppliers in the field. "We are seeing the biggest growth in Asia, and China in particular, as well as in North America. There, the demand is increasing for all rubber machinery," a spokeswoman for Engel said. "In Europe, the exchange of old equipment is the major growth driver. European processors are mainly investing in automated production cells," she added in a statement to ERJ.
