WINDSOR KUNSTSTOFFTECHNOLOGIE GMBH, based in Hanau, Germany, introduces Peter Kochs (49) as its newly appointed Managing Director. WINDSOR is the Europe-wide representative for hydraulic and servo-hydraulic injection moulding machines for the Taiwanese manufacturer FCS (Fu Chun Shin Group). In addition, WINDSOR is the representative for Germany of JSW Ltd. (The Japan Steel Works, Tokyo), manufacturer of all-electric injection moulding machines.
With effect from 1st October 2016 P. Kochs takes over this management position from Reiner Nowacki who died suddenly and unexpectedly in June 2016.Peter Kochs has been with WINDSOR since 2008, more recently as COO Sales and authorized signatory.
From now, he will have a significantly wider key range of responsibilities at his disposal: at the recent K2016, WINDSOR, a state-of-the-art plastics technology company with around 70 years’ tradition, announced the introduction of FCS injection moulding machines into the European market.
Dean Francis, President and Chairman of WINDSOR Group, Mason, OH, USA, confirmed his personnel decision: “Peter’s commitment to the WINDSOR customer support philosophy, his profound knowledge of the plastics industry and practical injection moulding technology experience make him the ideal choice for this responsible position in a demanding market environment.”
Peter Kochs’ extensive technical knowledge in the field of injection moulding machines, combined with his wide experience in the sale of such machines, give him a unique proximity to customers: “At the very top of our agenda is the introduction of the excellent value for money hydraulic and servo-hydraulic FCS injection moulding machines into the EU and EFTA markets. In parallel, we will continue to strongly promote the sale and application of JSW all-electric injection moulding machines within our domestic market.
In conjunction with this, we aim to drive the integral support network for turn-key production systems forward.” For the first time FCS and WINDSOR will be joint exhibitors at K2016 – in Hall 12, Stand B11 – to demonstrate a servo-hydraulic toggle-lever injection moulding machine of type SD-150SV with a clamping force of 150 tons.
