Altdorf, Germany – SHIBAURA MACHINE LWB is inviting rubber and plastic processors, as well as injection molders, to the SHIBAURA MACHINE LWB | Next-Level Molding Days on October 28 and 29, 2026, at its European Competence Center in Altdorf near Landshut. Under the theme “Turning Technology into Productivity,” the company will demonstrate how modern injection molding production will become more economical, energy-efficient, and future-proof. The event will focus on the world premiere of the LWB MultiStation automated production cell, which is set to revolutionize rubber manufacturing. Visitors will also experience the company’s extensive portfolio of horizontal and vertical injection molding machines for thermoplastics and elastomers, with numerous machines operating live. Additionally, SHIBAURA MACHINE LWB will present its comprehensive service portfolio, designed to ensure maximum machine availability and reliability. Technical presentations, plant tours, and direct exchanges with experts will offer practical insights into how plastics and rubber manufacturers can raise productivity, improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and secure their investments over the long term.

“Today, our customers expect production solutions that stabilize processes, boost productivity, and create measurable economic value. Under the theme ‘Turning Technology into Productivity,’ we combine cutting-edge injection molding technology from Japan and Germany with intelligent automation and comprehensive application expertise to create high-performance system solutions that offer a high degree of investment security,” says Dr. Georg Holzinger, Managing Executive Officer of SHIBAURA MACHINE and Chair of the Management Board of SHIBAURA MACHINE LWB GmbH.

At the SHIBAURA MACHINE LWB | Next-Level Molding Days, the company will demonstrate on how SHIBAURA MACHINE’s more than 76 years of Japanese mechanical engineering expertise and LWB’s 63 years of expertise in elastomer technology and vertical injection molding machines work together in practice.

The highlight is the world premiere of the automated production cell LWB MultiStation, which is revolutionizing rubber manufacturing. This innovative system solution for processing elastomers separates the individual process steps—injection, heating, demolding, and loading—and runs them in parallel, reducing downtime. Individual molds can be changed and selected maintenance tasks carried out without stopping the entire production line.

The modular concept allows different molds, materials, and batch sizes to be processed flexibly. This creates the basis for higher equipment availability, greater productivity, stable processes, and cost-efficient, future-proof manufacturing.
