But then you get something impressive: we produce with molds up to 2.10 x 1.30 m, creating products weighing around 20 kg of plastic (*). And that's a nice challenge for José Coelho, our production manager. In this blog, he enjoyes talking about his work. full story

Yet another addition to our factory: a new materials warehouse
![Materialenmagazijn 2023](/l/en/library/download/urn:uuid:3304badb-f4a1-4939-b180-60431df0a2d5/20231026_111416+ui+185x90.jpg?scaleType=3&width=577&height=279)
Pekago's rapid growth in recent years made external storage necessary. This caused a lot of unwanted, daily relocating. As from May 2023 however, all materials, like f.i. granulate and masterbatches, are now centrally situated directly next to our production facility. This warehouse can accomodate an extra 1.250 palles. full story
Moulds from China: not just cheaper

Design Guide: painting of injection moulded parts
![Hangend lakken 185x90.jpg](/l/en/library/download/urn:uuid:1e55ad1d-ea63-4d54-8995-9ab9e64266bf/20170207_104721+bw+185x90.jpg?scaleType=3&width=577&height=279)
This is partly true. But accounting for post-processing work during the design and production of the plastic part can usually avoid high costs later. full story
Flexibel monitor arm for ergonomic mobile workstation

Also true for the healthcare sector: 3D-printed products are there sooner, but injection moulding is quicker
![Korton spatmasker compilatie ui.png](/l/en/library/download/urn:uuid:d59d06b4-f959-4ebd-bb87-75e2a56e01f0/korton+spatmasker+compilatie+ui.png?scaleType=3&width=577&height=279)
Until recently, Korton Group just supplied IT solutions to healthcare institutions. But because of the shortage of face masks, they decided, together with some partners, to expand and print masks with a 3D printer. Though they were quickly able to scale up production to 600 masks a week, which alleviated the initial need, the need turned out to be much greater than expected. full story
