Why a system, not a machine

Your plastics operation is only as good as its weakest link.

A world-class moulding machine still under-performs if the material isn't dried correctly, the parts aren't handled cleanly, or the cell isn't automated for your volumes. Comtec engineers the whole chain — from raw material to finished part — so every element is specified to work together and to your production targets.

Comtec is a trusted name in Australia's plastics processing industry. Whether it is injection moulding, compounding, materials handling or ancillary products, we have a proud reputation for building partnerships and developing valuable collaborations. We consider it a privilege to partner with you and play an integral role in growing your business.

  • One engineered system, not a shopping list of equipment
  • Exclusive Australian partner for Arburg injection moulding machines
  • Upstream and downstream equipment from one supplier
  • Factory-trained local service, parts and technical support
