Get Your Passport to Profitability at Booth #101

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY – As investment casters all over the world continue to look for ways to improve productivity, efficiency, and profitability, MPI continues to provide the solutions in order to be at the forefront of innovation and custom-engineered solutions in the wax room. MPI’s theme for this year’s ICI show, “Your Passport to Profitability,” embodies the concept of its global reach and its ability to convert wax room problems into profit.

MPI continues to serve the investment-casting industry with the most advanced and capable wax injection equipment in the market. MPI has sold its Made-in-America equipment to forty-five countries and recently expanded its commitment to the world market with the appointment of a new agent and a demo facility in India equipped with an MPI injection machine. MPI will be presenting “Passports” at this year’s show that will provide information regarding MPI products, services, and sales agents around the globe.

MPI continues to maintain its position as the world leader in wax room equipment because of its relentless pursuit of constant improvement and innovation. Today, MPI occupies a 47,500-square-foot manufacturing and engineering facility on 4.5 acres that includes a fully functioning engineering laboratory, showroom, and production facility where it can tackle any unique wax room challenge and produce the lowest total cost solutions for its customers.

Also located at its headquarters is MPI’s Pattern Production Department. MPI has incorporated the highest levels of automation into this state-of-the-art facility, including automated injection and assembly. MPI pattern production services are ideal for organizations that struggle to keep up with capacity or are looking to improve quality and productivity. Outsourcing pattern production and assembly takes the stress out of wax room operations and gives MPI customers the peace of mind of knowing they will always receive the highest quality product at a cost-effective price.

Major strides continue to be made in wax room automation. MPI has over fifteen years of experience in automation, having successfully integrated robotics into the wax room via wax injection, wax assembly, and total wax room automation. Automation allows customers to achieve increased quality, increased yield, and increased productivity and throughput with reduced cycle times. MPI automation equipment can be found in the most advanced foundry in the world that makes single crystal jet turbine blades. MPI dazzled the crowd at last year’s ICI show by setting up a fully functioning wax room at its booth where it produced actual wax patterns, turned them into assemblies using the MPI 20-14 Automated Pattern Assembly System, and shipped them directly to its customer from the show floor. As a result of that live performance, demand for automation skyrocketed.

MPI also continues to innovate with its standard wax injection equipment. This year, MPI’s new product development team took a new design approach to its best-selling Model 55 Vertical C Frame presses. The new line will provide better pricing for base model machines, more flexible options than ever, and a wide range of function and feature choices while providing the industry-leading quality for which MPI is known.

MPI furthered its commitment to customer service with the recent appointment of new executive leadership for its Support Services Division. Mike Schipp, who came to MPI with a background rich in quality control, maintenance service management, and customer relations, was appointed service support manager and will give the division a seat at the MPI management table that will provide a decidedly customer-oriented perspective.

MPI was recently recognized for its commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety. It received accreditation from Safecontractor, a leading third-party accreditation organization that recognizes the highest standards in health and safety management. Safecontractor accreditation confirms that MPI’s safety policies and procedures have been verified and meet the highest standards.

All MPI machines come with MPI’s world-class global service and support. When you need to maximize your productivity and efficiency, MPI is your passport to profitability.

During this year’s ICI show, Aaron Phipps, MPI’s pattern production manager, will speak about current problems in the wax room and how to best overcome them. Aaron will be joined by Andrew Miller of Tech Cast, LLC as co-presenter. MPI can answer your questions in booth 101 on the exhibitor’s floor.
