A Proud Tradition of Leadership in Hot Runner Temperature Control Technology
Since the 1960s, Gammaflux LP has set an uncompromising standard: To design and produce the most technologically advanced, highest-quality hot runner temperature control solutions for the injection molding plastics industry.
Gammaflux developed the industry's first products to anticipate temperature changes, sense wiring and heater problems, and react instantly to avoid serious mold damage. Because of this the company has established an excellent reputation in the worldwide plastics industry as a product and service leader and innovator.
Achieving and maintaining this reputation is the direct result of the Gammaflux commitment to our customers. Gammaflux is more than just a supplier to our customers - we consider customers to be partners in the ongoing search for the best, most productive, and most cost-effective temperature control solutions possible. By focusing on customer needs and technological advances, we have been able to make the Gammaflux name synonymous with industry-leading quality and innovation.
A Commitment to Quality, A Dedication to Development
Combining cutting-edge technologies and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction, Gammaflux has established unprecedented levels of performance standards throughout the industry. Complete control, protection, and information are what set Gammaflux controllers apart from the rest.
The Gammaflux name has long been synonymous with the highest of quality standards. Our systems are known for their reliability and durability under the most rugged of factory conditions. In fact, most of our customers report excellent results from Gammaflux controllers even after many years of demanding operation in their plants.
Since the early 1990s, Gammaflux has been introducing new products at an unprecedented rate. Many of these new products are the direct result of ongoing dialogue with our customers to determine precisely what they need for their applications. Thanks to the dedication of our design and manufacturing teams, the Gammaflux standard has not only been upheld through these extremely dynamic years, but we've actually surpassed quality goals in many cases.
Recognizing the need to keep quality concerns at the forefront of all Gammaflux operations, we have given the quality function the highest possible visibility within the company, by elevating ownership to the executive level. This is part of our drive to remain focused on the primary objective of ensuring quality excellence over and above all other considerations as we continue to introduce new solutions to the industry.
When it comes to quality, the Gammaflux philosophy is that there is simply no more important program within the company. The continued superiority of our products can only be ensured by reaching for ever-higher levels of quality achievement.
Sales, Service, Support: Hallmarks of Gammaflux Excellence
Throughout the company's history, Gammaflux has seen the maturing of the injection molding industry and its spread around the world.
We have been anticipating this growth all along, opening sales and support offices in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to bring Gammaflux excellence and quality to our customers, wherever their facilities may be located.
Partnering with our customers means selling them the solutions they truly need and then being there for the long run with all the best training, service, and support possible. To Gammaflux, that's just standard practice. It's what our customers expect, and it's what we are and have always been committed to delivering.
We make a point of working closely with each customer, listening to them and helping to determine their specific needs. Only then can we provide the appropriate temperature control solution for each situation.
Gammaflux customers are encouraged to discuss their particular needs with us, and we are equally open with them. We want our customers to be well informed about their choices, and we firmly believe that no sale or installation is complete until the customer is absolutely convinced that they have the right solution.
It's the only way that we can ensure that the Gammaflux tradition of innovation and excellence continues well into the future.
