A high traffic
K2025 attracted 3,257 exhibitors from 66 countries and 175,000 visitors from 160 nations.
Despite lower attendance levels coming from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, K2025 has been a real success.
Our stand received almost 500 visitors working for 300 different companies.
There was a real interest in our new products and technologies. We even made several sales directly at the stand, especially the OPTI250 which attested the relevance of our new offering.
Our new products in the spotlight: ULTRA300 and OPTI250
This event was an opportunity for our company to reveal for the very first time to the world two new presses:
ULTRA300 - Premium performance
Highest precision in every injection
Our ULTRA300 flagship model of the G11 range, demonstrated its power and precision. We highlighted:
-
Its advanced technology designed for the user
-
Its optimized ergonomics and its modern design
-
Its solid efficiency and outstanding production quality
OPTI250 - Affordable efficiency
Ready to inject
The first model of the Optimum range, the OPTI250 seduced many customers for its simplicity and reliability.
It particularly drew visitors’ attention and had been sold out during the event. We demonstrated that:
-
The machine is easy and intuitive to learn
-
The machine optimizes production and costs
-
The partnership with Tung Yu provides strong technical support
Our HSR area: recycling and creating value
We have also insisted on our HSR (High Shear Regeneration) technology.
This innovation upcycles vulcanized rubber waste and reemploys it to produce rubber without compromising the quality of it.
We dedicated a space within our stand where our visitors could:
-
Discover (or rediscover) how each stage of the HSR process runs
-
Understand the economic and environmental benefits
-
Picture concrete use cases for integrating this technology into their production processes
Many constructive interactions and exchanges took place in this space, which shows the growing interest in more sustainable solutions.
Our services and demonstrations
We also presented REP services, such as:
-
REP Pack 4.0 workshop supervision, predictive maintenance, energy monitoring
-
Maintenance and retrofitting
-
Training and personalized support
It was possible for our visitors to attend live machine demonstrations and discover our presses. EPG electric horizontal presses, our compression and Rotocure solutions, and to talk about those machines directly with our experts.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to all our visitors, customers and partners for their presence and their interactions.
We look forward to seeing you at K2028, from October 18 to 25 2028 in Düsseldorf!

REP: How many REP presses do you have in your plant? What are the presses in question?
Walter PATRINI: In 1996, we acquired our first REP press, a V57.
Since then, our platform has welcomed various generations of machines, from G7 to G9.
Today, we have a total of 7 presses of 160t, 250t or 400t.
REP: Why this choice of models precisely? What is the main advantage we can attribute to them?
Walter PATRINI: For us, the choice was based on a key technical aspect: injection volume capacity.
It was one of the main features that guided our selection. .jpg)
Indeed, we now have 4 different injection unit models, giving us great flexibility ranging from 1,000 cc to 11,000 cc of injected compound.
REP: What technical or ergonomic aspects do you particularly appreciate?
Walter PATRINI: For us, the real advantage of these machines is:
- Ease of use
- Intuitive handling with user-friendly settings
- Essential information clearly displayed and accessible
This contributes to greater team autonomy and a reduction in production shutdowns due to operating problems.
Focus on the production
REP: What aspects do you consider essential to maintaining optimized production?
Walter PATRINI: We would say that the productivity of our machines depends above all on rigorous maintenance. We have set up a weekly maintenance routine with preventive actions that enable us to avoid breakdowns and unplanned shutdowns.
Our operators are regularly trained in-house to ensure proper use of the presses. This discipline ensures stable, long-lasting production.
Our machines are also all connected, enabling us to monitor workshop data in real time, helping us to anticipate drifts and reinforce our predictive maintenance approach.
Focus on the finished product
"With our current equipment and operating methods, we succeed in meeting 3 major objectives for the parts we produce: long-term reliability, low material waste and assured quality."
REP & you
REP: How long have you been a REP Customer?
Walter PATRINI: We're long-standing customers, with our first press acquired over 20 years ago!
REP: What made you come to REP more than to any other company?
Walter PATRINI: REP was recommended to us by one of our customers, and we have continued to work together ever since, because we believe that REP presses represent:
Reliability
Performance
Simplified maintenance
Future projects
REP : What are your future goals and challenges to complete?
Walter PATRINI: Our main objective today is to survive the unfair competition we face, by activating management and industrial improvement processes, and relying on suppliers and tools we trust.
"Maintaining exemplary quality through control is a daily objective for us."
