Atelier de production

Focus on the workshop

REP: How many REP presses do you have in your plant? What are the presses in question?

Soucy Baron: The 10+ REP machines in our workshop include various generations that provide a range of clamping force tonnages.

On a daily basis, we use:

4 V47 machines (G7 generation from the 90s) with a clamping force of 160t.
2V57-V67 presses with clamping forces of 250t and 400t.
2V68 machines (G8 generation from the '95s) with a clamping force of 400t.
1 V69 machine (G9 generation from the '99s) with a clamping force of 400t.
2 V710 presses, from the latest generation of G10 machines, with clamping forces of 500t.

REP: Why this choice of models precisely? What advantages and characteristics can we attribute to them?

Soucy Baron: The main advantages of these models for us are the following:

1. Low maintenance

These highly reliable machines are heavily built, and have minimal maintenance requirements.

3. Multi-generational

ergonomics

Configuration parameters are easily programmable and customizable.
In addition, they are identical for every generation of machine, making them user-friendly.

5. Versatility

One of our major constraints is the machine's adaptability to different formulas and compositions of molding compounds.
Our presses adapt perfectly and convert from one material to another with no problem.

2. Quality

The injection unit's technology is superior to others already on the market, enabling high production quality and precision.

4. Longevity

The durability and longevity of our machines is undeniable and a real advantage.
Some of our presses are models that belong to older generations from 30+ years ago, and are still as efficient as ever!

6. Customization

What makes these models so distinctive is their modularity and customizability.
As our needs have evolved over the years, this easily adaptable equipment continues to meet our expectations.

Manufacturing workshop

Focus on the production

REP: For which use(s) and type of production do you require REP machines?

Soucy Baron: We use REP presses for the molding and overmolding of various rubber parts. These are then used in multiple sectors of activity such as recreational vehicle, agriculture, industry, etc.

As a trusted partner to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)across various industries, we provide excellence in engineering for high-performance critical rubber products with our REP equipment.

REP: To what extent are these machines a real advantage for you in terms of productivity?

Soucy Baron:

The press has no downtime and requires no repairs
Cycle repeatability and stability are ensured, production is reliable and high-quality
System configuration and customization is optimized for our different mold sizes

Injection molding of technical and precision parts

Focus on the finished product

REP: What do you think defines a high-quality part?

Soucy Baron: We are uncompromising on both quality and stability. We ensure quality through various control points and precise finishes. We provide stability through constant results with no variations in the reliability of the molded parts we deliver.

REP: How is your part different from the competition? What are its main advantages and specificities?

Soucy Baron:

We provide customizations and a vast variety of specific rubber formulas
We work with our customers throughout the process, from the initial request to the design, formulation and production of the finished part.
We are ISO 9001: 2015 certified. It is important for us to comply with international standards and regulations such as REACH and ASTM to ensure outstanding quality backed by first-rate customer service

REP: How do REP machines help you achieve this optimal result?

Soucy Baron: The machines' low maintenance requirements and efficient design are reliable assets we can count on.
In addition, we benefit from very good after-sales service and the help of REP's qualified technicians, who assist us remotely or directly on site.

Satisfied customer collaboration

REP & you

REP: How long have you been a REP Customer?

Soucy Baron: We've been working together for over 20 years now, with our first press (400 t) purchased in 2001.

We consider our relationship with REP as a true partnership rather than a classic supplier-customer relationship. We work jointly on new projects, developments and challenges we are facing.

REP: What made you come to REP more than to any other company?

Soucy Baron: For us, REP is the right choice, thanks in particular to the quality of service and equipment, as well as the relationship we have with the REP teams. The 3 top benefits of REP for us are:

Reliability

Skills

Durability

We receive great service from every member of the team, whether it's during the quotation process for a new machine, the purchasing process, the maintenance of our existing machines, during development and improvement projects, or during various requests for technical assistance.
The REP Corporation team, in particular Derek Williams, the VP of Sales assigned to our account, along with Matt Pollard, Josh Beachum and Josh Brundage, make a great difference for us thanks to their availability, responsiveness and expertise.
