Billion/Engel enter into new partnership
French injection moulding machine manufacturer Billion SAS and Austria-based Engel have entered into a partnership, where Billion will remain the central point of contact for servicing existing Billion machines, while Engel takes on the role of recommended supplier for new equipment purchases of customers.
Engel and Billion have agreed a collaboration that takes effect immediately. The aim is to continue supplying Billion customers injection moulding solutions and Billion will remain an independent company but with Engel as its preferred machine supplier. Both companies are family-run businesses, sharing a common set of values, the firms add.
For existing customers, day-to-day business will change very little – yet something important has shifted behind the scenes. Billion will continue to handle its own service operations exactly as before and remains the first point of contact. What is new, however, is that Billion customers can now count on the backing of Engel, a major European group with a global sales and service network as well as global manufacturing and supply chain capabilities. Should additional resources be needed – for instance in specific countries – Billion will be able to draw on Engel's service network.
In addition to its existing sales office in Wissous, the partnership gives Engel the opportunity to make use of Billion's facilities, including its tech centre.
"We made a deliberate choice to partner with a strong European player, because the long-term security of our customers matters most to us. In Engel, we've found a partner known for quality, reliability and the highest standards of confidentiality," says Korbinian Kiesl, Président/CEO of Billion.
"We're delighted about this partnership with Billion. The machine concepts of both companies complement each other so well that Billion customers will still be able to use their familiar tooling on Engel machines going forward," says Stefan Engleder, CEO of the Engel Group.
