Plastinternational, a traditional custom plastic injection moulder that specialises in providing solutions to customer needs, celebrates its 24th anniversary this year , having been started by Gianni Ambrosi in 1986 after he sold Plastmould Injecta (Pty) Ltd, the company he had been running since 1969 (where the famous Aquanaut Pool Cleaner was developed and produced). Based in Meadowdale, Johannesburg, Plastinternational has 12 plastic injection moulding machines in its production facilities, which range in tonnage from 20t clamping force to 350t, enabling the company to offer moulding from as little as 1g shot weight, up to aprox. 900g shot weight.
Plastinternational is a member of the Plastics Federation of South Africa and the PCA - Plastic Converters Association.
As for the original ball
valve, according to Ambrosi, close on one million of them are in use in
the local market, predominantly in water metering applications, and a
number are in use in the international market – and sales are still going
strong.
