"Live Demo of Automated Tableware and Wine Glass Production"... LS Mtron Heads to Mexico Plastics Expo

Participates in Mexico's PLASTIMAGEN 2026
Opens third overseas tech center, following those in China and South Korea
Wins Latin American customers with free trial production

LS Mtron, an LS Group company specializing in industrial machinery and advanced components, is stepping up its efforts to expand in Latin America by taking part in Mexico's largest plastics exhibition.

LS Mtron said on November 13 that it had participated in PLASTIMAGEN 2026, held at Centro Banamex in Mexico City from November 10 to 13. The company set up a booth in Hall C and unveiled two of its flagship injection molding machines and its smart control technology.

At the exhibition, the company demonstrated actual product manufacturing processes in real time. The 170-ton electric injection molding machine, the LSG 170E, produced a reusable tableware set consisting of forks, spoons, and knives. The company also showcased a system that automates the entire process, from supplying raw materials to removing finished products. The 380-ton hydraulic hybrid injection molding machine, the LSG 380H, demonstrated the molding of wine glasses using transparent materials.

The company also exhibited Molding 5.0, an intelligent solution for managing the quality of injection molding processes. The solution detects changes in raw material conditions and the external environment in real time. It uses the data to automatically adjust production conditions, helping maintain consistent product quality.

An injection molding machine is industrial equipment that heats and melts plastic material, injects it under high pressure into a mold, and cools it to mass-produce products in a consistent shape.

LS Mtron opened a new tech center in Apodaca, Mexico, to strengthen its ties with local customers. It is the company's third such facility, following those in China and South Korea. The center has three permanent demonstration lines. Before starting mass production or introducing equipment, local customers can have molds trial-produced free of charge and directly verify the molding process. The company plans to strengthen its hands-on sales approach to respond closely to manufacturing demand in North and Latin America.

"We have demonstrated LS Mtron's capabilities by achieving a 10% share of the North American injection molding machine market," said Shin Jaeho, president of LS Mtron. "Through this exhibition, we will expand our ties with customers in Mexico and continue to grow in global markets beyond the Americas."
