50 years of successful
cooperation for KraussMaffei
COSCOLLOLA Comercial SL has
been selling products bearing the
KraussMaffei and KraussMaffei Berstorff
brands in the Spanish market for fifty
years. The third-generation family-run
company is therefore the agency with
which KraussMaffei has cooperated for
the longest period of time.
“We are delighted with this long-
standing partnership, which is entirely
in the interest of our continuous
development,” said Frank Peters,
vice president sales at KraussMaffei.
“Together we have built up a strong and
successful market position in Spain.
I am firmly convinced that we will also
remain strong in future and will increase
our market shares.”
In September 1962 Coscollola
(Barcelona) became the KraussMaffei
agency for injection moulding machinery
in Spain. This cooperation led to the
delivery of the first injection moulding
machine in January 1963. The machine
model at that time was still the MONOmat
150S (manufactured by Eckert&Ziegler).
However, the first KraussMaffei
V110/700 injection moulding machine
came to Spain as early as 1964. In 1966
turnover already exceeded DM 1mn, a
respectable result in the then still young
plastics industry, not least because
Spain, before its accession to the EU in
1986, levied a 45 per cent import tax on
plastics machines.
In addition to KraussMaffei injection
moulding machinery and KraussMaffei
Berstorff extrusion technology, Coscollola
offers its customer base a wide range
of peripheral equipment for processing
plastics.
“We focus on customers and their
needs and requirements throughout
the entire production period,” said
Ricardo Coscollola, managing director of
Coscollola Comercial SL. “We therefore
regard it as extremely important that we
ourselves also possess competence
in engineering, technical support,
commissioning and service. This makes
us unique on the Spanish plastics
market.”
