From toolmaking to series production, Giebeler is known for its comprehensive, customer-oriented approach to plastics processing. Haitian is a partner that shares this philosophy, offering uncompromising service and machine concepts designed for competitive part costs.

Giebeler has an eventful company history. Initially active in slate mining when it was founded in 1956, the family-owned company now operates in three business areas: precision toolmaking, tool service and series production in injection molding. Having these three areas under one roof offers customers significant advantages. Tools are designed and sampled under real production conditions before being transferred directly to production. The same team that designs the tools also oversees the optimization and validation processes, resulting in short feedback loops and reliable results.

Mrs. Jacqueline Kowalewski introduces us to the unique 24-hour tool service, which is truly a USP ingrained in Giebelers DNA.

For decades, the automotive industry provided the company with a stable foundation. However, the sector’s increasing fragility and unpredictability made a realignment necessary. Today, the automotive sector still accounts for around 50 percent of sales, but this percentage is deliberately declining. In recent years, Giebeler has repositioned itself through targeted diversification, in-house developments, and collaboration with partners in China, some of whom are former employees. The company has a strong family culture with flat hierarchies and personal responsibility. This flexible, independent, and globally minded attitude reflects a remarkable affinity with Haitian.

Giebeler’s production relies on a diverse machine park of 33 injection molding machines with clamping forces ranging from 350 to 16.000 kN. Energy efficiency, process reliability, system flexibility, and operating costs are increasingly important factors in investment decisions. However, the origin of the trusting partnership was another aspect: the service culture of both companies. “We rarely experience service technicians who stay until the problem is truly resolved without hidden additional costs. Haitian and its sales- and service partner ATR have done exactly that.”

Whether connecting to a new MES system or stabilizing a challenging material, the Haitian team quickly arrived on site, stayed until the process was stable, and did not leave production until it was secure. Giebeler himself offers a mobile tool service that provides on-site support to customers. The team is almost like an emergency service, immediately ready to respond when a tool needs maintenance, repair, or quick intervention.

This helps keep production lines stable, even in critical situations. This customer-oriented approach formed the natural bridge to Haitian International. So it’s no coincidence that the Haitian service DNA, embodied by around 40 technicians in Germany and over 200 throughout Europe, resonated.

At Haitian, too, global economies of scale and stable supply chains ensure cost efficiency, while European application expertise and local service guarantee customer proximity. Both companies are thus focusing on a balance between global strength and local proximity – for short delivery times, reliable quality, and an optimal cost-benefit ratio.
At Giebeler, production data has long been the basis for decisions – from run-at-rate validations to OEE dashboards. Together with Haitian, the machines were the first in the entire machine park to be integrated via EUROMAP interfaces. Giebeler is thus replacing old host interfaces with modern, standardized communication and creating real-time transparency in production. For employees, this means fewer manual checks, faster root cause analysis, and clearer handover between toolmaking and injection molding. For customers, it means documented process stability and traceability—efficiently implemented.

The outlook is clear: the market will continue to change significantly over the next five years. Price pressure is increasing, while quality, service, and energy consumption are becoming decisive criteria in purchasing decisions. With its hybrid business model (local + China), combination of technical depth and service expertise, and optimized cost structure, Giebeler considers itself well positioned.

No Downstream Processing:
One-step to the visible part

At K 2025, Haitian International will present a smart, sustainable solution for the automotive industry: the production of visible parts directly from the mold using polypropylene and a pre-decorated film insert. This eliminates the need for painting or other downstream processes. The exhibit features a fifth-generation Jupiter machine combined with a fully integrated automation cell from Haitian Smart Solutions.

The application is a wheel arch for the automotive sector. The special feature is that a preformed decorative film is inserted directly into the mold and bonded with the PP during the injection molding process. There is no need for a transfer station, painting or trimming – the part leaves the mold fully decorated and ready to install.

This streamlined process reduces complexity, material waste and cycle times. At the same time, it enables the use of cost-effective recycled materials while meeting high demands for surface quality. The Jupiter servo-hydraulic two-platen machine provides the necessary precision and stability for such applications, offering a compact footprint and full automation potential.

At K 2025 a Jupiter Series with clamping force of 6,500 kN produces a 450 g part in a single-cavity mold in 60 seconds. Film handling and part removal are fully automated using Haitian Smart Solutions components. The system is also equipped with Haitian’s Go Factory MES for real-time production monitoring and control, as well as the HT·Inject smart feature, which optimizes the injection process in real time and ensures consistent part weights — a critical advantage when processing recycled materials.

This live showcase is the result of close collaboration between Haitian, Oerlikon HRSflow, Inevo, DNP, ExxonMobil, Meusburger and Sesotec. Together, these partners demonstrate how premium quality and economical manufacturing can go hand in hand without compromising process reliability.
