Arburg Sets New Standard in Injection Molding at K 2025.
At K 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for the plastics industry, Arburg delivered a standout performance that confirmed its position as a global leader in injection moulding technology. With its new communication concept “All in! arburgSOLUTIONworld” and the arburgGREENworld pavilion, the company showcased a complete world of solutions – focused on sustainability, digitalisation, and efficiency.
World Premiere: The Electric Allrounder Trend
The new Allrounder Trend made its world debut and quickly became the highlight of K 2025. This electric standard injection moulding machine is designed for manufacturers who need high performance with low energy consumption and shorter delivery times.
Key features include:
Quick setup and easy operation with the new GESTICA lite control system.
Energy-efficient design for standard part production.
Delivery within four weeks ex-works and attractive pricing.
Available from 500 to 2,000 kN clamping force and injection units from 100 to 800.
At the Arburg booth, visitors saw two live production cells:
An Allrounder 1000 e Trend manufacturing free-fall connectors for the electronics sector.
An Allrounder 1800 e Trend producing 64 LSR seals, handled by a Multilift Select robot.
These demonstrations underscored Arburg’s focus on automation, speed, and precision in standardized injection molding.
High-End Injection Moulding and Automation Solutions
Beyond the new Trend series, Arburg highlighted several advanced manufacturing applications developed in collaboration with leading partners:
NextGen Medical Cell: An Allrounder 570 A, jointly developed with Sanofi, Hack, and HB-Therm, showing how machine–mould communication reduces cost and energy use.
Cleanroom Medical Technology: An Allrounder 520 A produced centrifuge tubes and functional IML components with Beck and Kebo.
Thin-Wall Packaging: An Allrounder 720 A demonstrated injection-compression moulding for IML cups, cutting clamping force and power consumption.
Mobility and Electronics: A vertical Allrounder 475 V, another world premiere, used in-mould decoration (IMD) to produce wireless key housings with premium surfaces.
Multi-Component Production: An Allrounder More 1800 produced two-colour domino tiles using a Polarform mould and Hasko hot-runner system, with a cobot assisting a Multilift V robot.
Cube Technology: Together with Foboha, an Allrounder Cube 2000 produced two-colour closures, using a suspended six-axis robot for cycle-neutral removal.
These turnkey solutions illustrated Arburg’s integrated approach – combining machines, robotics, and digital tools to deliver smarter, more sustainable injection moulding systems.
Sustainability in Focus: arburgGREENworld Pavilion
At the arburgGREENworld pavilion, visitors immersed themselves in the future of sustainable plastics processing. The exhibit showcased the full circular economy, from recycling to reuse — including a live demonstration where an Allrounder 1000 e Trend transformed discarded fishing nets into model dolphins, which were then laser-engraved for visitors.
The pavilion also hosted expert presentations from industry and academia on:
Recyclate processing and bio-based materials.
CO₂-neutral production using biochar compounds.
New approaches to energy efficiency and e-fuels.
Dr Christoph Schumacher, Arburg’s Head of Global Marketing, summarised:
“The topic of sustainability has truly come of age. At K 2025, it was clear that the circular economy is now an integral part of the plastics industry.”
