REP: How many REP presses do you have in your plant? What are the presses in question?
CAP-2 Group: We currently have 2 REP vertical presses in our workshop, a G4 and a G7.
REP: Why this choice of models precisely? What advantages and characteristics can we attribute to them?
CAP-2 Group: These models are perfect for the type of production we are currently carrying out.
The presses are:
REP: For which use(s) and type of production do you require REP machines?
CAP-2 Group: Our main production with these machines is the injection and compression of rubber and derivatives.
REP: To what extent are these machines a real advantage for you in terms of productivity?
CAP-2 Group:
REP: What aspects do you consider essential to maintain optimized production?
CAP-2 Group: For us, the most important aspects of optimized production are:
The fact that our machines are efficiently optimized at this part of the process helps us reduce and control production times and costs.
With a big loading capacity of 3.5 kg of rubber for our G4 and G7, we can conceptualize and produce with efficient, time-saving molds.
The fact that these machines are so easy to handle means that we can reduce our operators' training costs, while improving ergonomics and quality of their workspace.
REP: What do you think defines a high-quality part?
CAP-2 Group: The quality standards we impose on ourselves can be grouped into 3 points.
The final product must:
REP: What's the biggest challenge you've come up against?
CAP-2 Group: If we had to pick just one telling example, we'd surely say that of white natural rubber molding.
Indeed, injecting a very light-colored compound, which is more sensitive to dirt and defects, with equipment that is used to running on a black or dark mixture, seemed very complex!
Finally, after a few tests and adjustments, and a purge of the previous compound, production was able to start without a hitch or blockage, and in large series. Challenge taken up and results validated!
"As part of our Kaizen methodology (daily continuous improvement, for everyone, everywhere), we decided to take this production process to the next level. We're delighted to share with you a milestone that has improved our productivity : the transition from compression to injection molding of white natural rubber!"
REP: How is your part different from the competition? What are its main advantages and specificities?
CAP-2 Group: One of our main competitive advantages is our ability to adapt to our customers' needs. That's why we can offer very small production runs as well as very large ones, in all types of rubber and silicone, always maintaining a good quality/price ratio.
Another of our advantages is that we are molded tube manufacturers and, thanks to our integrated cutting service, we obtain high-quality, economical flat gaskets, compared with other manufacturing systems such as molding or single-cutting of flat gaskets.
REP: How do REP machines help you achieve this optimal result?
CAP-2 Group: Today, our G4 and G7 machines help us achieve these results by saving production time and material costs when using certain compounds.
"Recently, as part of the continuous improvement process, the production and quality departments set the goal of eliminating the compression process previously carried out for natural rubber in order to switch to an injection process, thus optimizing time and resources."
REP: How long have you been a REP Customer?
CAP-2 Group: We've been working with REP presses for 4 years now!
REP: What made you come to REP more than to any other company?
CAP-2 Group: We chose REP presses on the recommendation of our partners. We work with customers and suppliers who manufacture with these presses and are more than satisfied, so we too have joined the blue workshop family!
REP: What are your future goals and challenges to complete?
CAP-2 Group: Our future project is to be able to migrate and convert the rest of our current compression manufacturing to injection molding.
Our second objective is to maintain and pursue our sustainable commitment to the environment, in order to obtain ISO 14001 certification. It is important to us that the machines we use in our manufacturing process respect and enable us to comply with these standards.
"Overall, we'd say that our experience has been very positive, and has enabled us to improve our production processes. Thank you to the teams who make these projects possible!"

Almost 2 years after the integration of RPM into our Group, REP's 2 Italian subsidiaries are strategically joining forces.
After almost 40 years of service, twenty of which at the head of RPM, Mr. Gianfranco INVERARDI retired at the end of March 2024.
The entire REP and RPM teams wish him an excellent retirement!
Appointed just over a year ago to the position of Director of Operations and Commercial Director of REP Italiana, Mr Benjamin PAGANELLI will take over the management of our 2 Italian subsidiaries, REP Italiana and RPM, from April 2024. .
REP Italiana and RPM have joined forces to create a sales partnership in Italy, and pool their resources to provide a full range of services and strengthen their after-sales business.
All REP and RPM teams have been retained, and will participate in the expansion of activities without losing any of their know-how.
Ms Monica BONOMETTI and Mr Marco INVERARDI, with over 17 and 20 years' experience at RPM respectively, will remain at the heart of the team, both driving forces alongside Benjamin PAGANELLI.
Close-knit teams with shared know-how for all our customers' needs:
The team is growing, and we welcome Ruddy ABEL, Sales Manager, and Gary ANDERTON, new Manager of our UK branch REP Rubber Injection (RRI).
Gary ANDERTON succeeds Olly SANDERS, who is retiring after many years with the team.
Gary has worked in the rubber industry for over 30 years, was a REP customer for many years and visited REP on many occasions. He tells us about the reliability and efficiency of the machines, which is why he wanted to join the REP team.
"I'm very excited about what the future holds, and I'm looking forward to working with a great team of people who are world leaders in the rubber industry.."
Let's take this opportunity to take a look back at REP's presence in the UK, first with the subsidiary REP Machinery and then through RRI , but all the while with the pricelessly hilarious Olly SANDERS to whom we wish an excellent and happy retirement!
With his legendary British sense of humor and his equally famous frog tie or Union Jack bow tie, Olly made a lasting impression and enjoyed a pleasant 42-year career with REP.
New onboarder at the Corbas head office too: Ruddy ABEL joins REP as Sales Manager.
With 15 years' experience in the hydraulic fluid management sector (industrial valves), Ruddy has worked in a number of different geographical areas. Industry is his area of expertise.
He has supported numerous customers in a variety of sectors (heavy industry, energy, agri-food and pharmaceuticals) throughout his career.
"This is an exciting new technical challenge after 15 years' experience in the hydraulics industry. The time I've spent with the team has confirmed my choice and only strengthened my motivation! "
As of October 1st, the new CEO of REP international is Mr. Hervé REVEL.
With 25 years' seniority, Hervé REVEL has held a number of different positions since joining the R&D Department in 1998.
Well-known to our customers, he was for a time After-Sales Director before becoming Director of the Industrial and Technical Division and finally Chief Operating Officer.
Our shareholders in the ARYES group have chosen to entrust him with the continuation of the REP adventure, which began over 115 years ago!
This change in continuity however opens up new prospects for the future with the development of 3 major projects: CSR, digital transformation and G11
The collective adventure can continue!
There is no doubt that the entire management committee, staff and sales and after-sales network will do their utmost to continue the adventure and continue to guarantee the quality of the products and services we deliver to our customers.
After nearly 40 years of service, including almost 30 at the head of the REP Group, our CEO Mr Bruno TABAR retired at the end of September.
An emotional ceremony retraced the milestones of his brilliant career and the major developments in the company under his leadership.
He was made a Chevalier in the Ordre National du Mérite in 2022 for his contribution to France's economic influence abroad through the deployment of our international presence.
The entire REP Group wishes Mr. TABAR an excellent retirement!
His successor is Mr Hervé REVEL, former Chief Operating Officer.
As of October 1, he is the new CEO of the REP group.

REP: How many REP presses do you have in your plant? What are the presses in question?
SHS: 4 horizontal injection machines EPG200, 3 horizontal injection machines EPG300 and 1 compression molding machine of 300 tons.
REP: Why this choice of models precisely? What advantages and characteristics can we attribute to them?
SHS: If we were to group them into 4 main points, we would say:
Dimensions of the machine, with the compact layout of the machine, we save space in the department for a better use of our building surface
Teleassitance with "Help" software, help us to reduce MTTR time (Mean Time To Repair) in case of faults.
The High Performance Pack enables our production to become autonomous.
Energy saving: we measured a real advantage concerning electrical consumption of our machines that help us to reduce our environment impact
Electric movements: allow us a very precise control of the machine, that means repeatable and stable process. Furthermore, electric movements mean no oil into molding area, it's a big advantage for quality assurance of our product.
We keep under control the consumption of the machine, this allows us to manage the energy price increase without impact on our selling price on the market, it means that we can be competitive.
RPM supported us during the design of our working station and helped us by cooperating with all the other suppliers for cold runner system, temperature control units, heating plates. The result is that we have “built a system” instead of “buy a machine."
REP: What about the ergonomics of the workstation? How can REP machines be differentiated from other models?
SHS: Compact dimensions allowed us to reduce movements of the operators (fewer daily steps), create efficiency in our layout, by a best use of the same space. We reduced the operator’s perceived temperature, by a development of the heating systems of the machine.
REP: For which use(s) and type of production do you require REP machines?
SHS: We use RPM machines mainly for the production of O-rings and technical articles, even complex ones, but for which automatic operation of the press is possible.
REP: To what extent are these machines a real advantage for you in terms of productivity?
SHS:
"The versatility, simplicity and wealth of information of REP presses allow us to analyze every aspect in detail to transform ideas into concrete work."
REP: How long have you been a REP Customer?
SHS: For 4 years.
REP: What made you come to REP more than to any other company?
SHS: We chose REP because for us it symbolizes:
REP: What are your future goals and challenges to complete?
SHS: Our business plan foresees a new step for 6 new machines in the next two years.
