Georg Utz AG is a manufacturer of storage and transport containers, pallets, component holders and technical parts from recyclable plastic. The production site in Bremgarten (Aargau) is the Swiss subsidiary of the Georg Utz Holding company, which also has its head office in Bremgarten. This site employs around 220 members of staff. Utz is a supplier of a very broad product palette. We operate two production processes: Containers and pallets are usually injection-moulded, while workpiece carriers are thermoformed. As containers and workpiece carriers are frequently combined, these production options...

Project Management Our competent sales team will advise you, cater for your special requirements and attempt to arrive at fast, practical and simple solutions. Our project managers handle projects from their initial idea to their realisation.

From the idea to the product Mould flow analysis All requirements related to the planned product are summarised in specifications within the framework of an extensive checklist. Technical drawings form the basis of further development. This results in three-dimensional displays which enable an initial introduction of the future product. The analysis provides information about the flow behavior of a plastic and allows tool optimization at this point. With the help of FEA, virtual components can be calculated on the computer and deformations and stresses under the influence of force can be simulated....

Quality Management according to ISO 9001:2015 The Utz Group has a comprehensive quality management system in place. This ensures that Utz products are of consistently high quality and meet customer requirements. Rapid prototyping Model making Tool constructions Serial production Based on the technical drawings, details of the planned load carrier can be produced as Rapid Prototyping Samples within a very short period of time. In order to ensure that everything is accurate we will also produce a model of the planned load carrier. In our in-house tool making department, ideas can be implemented...

PRODUCTION PROCESS 3. Formation: Creating excess pressure A plate or film consisting of thermoplastic material is tightened in a tenter frame and heated with a suitable heat source up to and including the plastic area. The base plate and the tool are lifted. A pump creates excess pressure (preblowing). 4. Formation: Creating a vacuum Once the plate is suitably heated to enable forming, the radiators are retracted. The heated plate is pre-stretched by air pressure and the forming tool is driven to the pre-stretched plate. The air between the tool and the plate is aspirated (vacuum).

PRODUCTION PROCESS Thermoforming Thermoforming is a manufacturing process which reforms thermoplastic synthetics. The resulting load carriers are usually called workpiece carriers. Workpiece carriers are able to perfectly incorporate the stored products into so-called nests. The raw material Component holders are formed from plastic plates which are removed from a magazine and further processed in the thermoforming machine. Material from the roll is also used. The tool and the production In order to produce thermoformed component holders, a plastic plate is heated. The heated plate is pulled...
