A good week at Propak Cape 👏

It was great to spend some time at the exhibition in Cape Town, catching up with customers, making new connections and seeing what’s happening across the packaging and food processing industry.

Events like these are always a valuable opportunity to step out of the day-to-day, have face-to-face conversations and gain a better understanding of the developments shaping the industries we serve.

For us, it’s also about understanding the demands behind the finished product. From injection moulding and blow moulding to extrusion, the right tooling material can make a real difference to tool life, product quality and production efficiency.

From beverage bottles to industrial containers, blow moulding tools must endure high stress and repetitive cycles.

A blow mould that lasts longer means fewer replacements and reduced downtime.

voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa steels are designed for durability, keeping production lines efficient and reliable. Our steel grades further deliver wear resistance and polishability for superior performance in the packaging and plastics industries.

In the world of plastic injection moulding, the quality of your tooling directly impacts productivity, efficiency, and the consistency of finished parts.

At voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa, we engineer Bohler steel grades designed for exceptional wear resistance, high toughness, and optimal thermal conductivity.

These properties enable mould makers to produce tools that maintain dimensional accuracy over extended production runs, even under high injection pressures and demanding cycle times.

By minimising maintenance downtime and extending tool life, our solutions lower total cost of ownership for manufacturers and ensure a faster return on investment.

Injection moulding tools face extreme pressure and heat which can cause premature wear, corrosion, or part defects if the wrong material is used.

voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa's Bohler steels are engineered to:
• Maintain hardness at high operating temperatures
• Provide polishability for clear plastics and optical parts
• Resist corrosion in demanding environments (e.g. PVC processing)

Stronger tools = consistent production = better ROI.

That’s why leading manufacturers choose voestalpine steels that are engineered to withstand high pressures, maintain surface finish, and improve cycle times.

Sustainable Solutions: Engineered for Every Injection.

voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa brings materials, services, and lifecycle expertise together to help plastic injection moulds perform reliably for longer.

In plastic injection moulding, steel selection matters. The strongest results come when premium materials and expert services work as one system, helping moulds stay precise, durable, and consistent across demanding production runs.

That integrated approach helps extend mould life, reduce downtime, protect part quality, and support more sustainable production by creating longer value from every tool.

When performance, service, and lifecycle thinking work together, sustainability becomes part of how the mould is built to perform.

Did you know? In injection moulding, up to 70% of the total cost can be linked to tool performance and downtime.

High-volume production demands high-performance steel.

With voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa tool steel, moulds for injection moulding last longer, deliver consistent precision, and reduce costly downtime.

From automotive parts to household goods, our steels are trusted where accuracy matters most.

Choosing the right steel means fewer tool changes, lower costs, and better part quality: https://www.voestalpine.com/highperformancemetals/za/en-za/tooling-applications/plastic-injection-moulding/

Most issues in plastics manufacturing do not come from the machine. They come from what is happening inside the mould. 👇

Cooling, stability, and material behaviour are constantly interacting, and when one shifts, the entire process starts to move with it.

voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa’s plastics offering is built to bring those variables back under control. By combining steel, aluminium, and copper alloys into a coordinated system, it becomes easier to manage heat flow, maintain dimensional accuracy, and keep production consistent across demanding cycles.

The impact shows up quickly. Less variation between parts, fewer process adjustments, and a tool that holds its performance longer under real production conditions.

Control is not something you fix at the end of the process. It is something you build into the tool from the start. đź’ˇ

Another great day at the Bomb Squad Golf Day ⛳

It was a pleasure to spend the day with customers, industry partners and friends, enjoying some good golf, great company and plenty of conversation along the way.

Events like these are a good reminder that business is also about the relationships we build and the people we get to know beyond the day-to-day.

Thank you to Bomb Squad RSA for having us and for putting together such an enjoyable day. We were glad to be part of it. đź’™

Keeping mineral processing systems operational is about more than maintaining equipment. It starts with designing components that can withstand continuous wear, abrasion, and demanding operating conditions.

At voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa, we work with engineers, OEMs, and equipment manufacturers to help optimise the performance of critical processing equipment through advanced material selection. The right material can improve wear resistance, extend service life, reduce maintenance interventions, and support more consistent production.

From crushers and screens to chutes, transfer points, and material handling systems, precision in material selection helps create the foundation for long-term operational reliability.

Excellence is achieved when every component is designed to perform exactly as intended, day after day, under the toughest conditions.

Behind every high-performing component is a combination of knowledge, precision, and experience. đź’ˇ In the mining industr...

Behind every high-performing component is a combination of knowledge, precision, and experience. đź’ˇ

In the mining industry, selecting the right material is only part of the equation. Understanding the application, the operating environment, and the challenges a component will face is equally important.

At voestalpine High Performance Metals Africa, we work closely with engineers, OEMs, and equipment manufacturers to help identify material solutions that support improved wear performance, longer service life, and greater reliability. Our value comes not only from the materials we supply, but from the expertise we share throughout the process.

Every application is different. By taking the time to understand the requirements, we can help our customers make informed decisions that contribute to long-term performance and operational success.
