TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ABC Technologies Holdings Inc. (TSX: ABCT) (“ABC Technologies” or “ABC” or the “the “Company”) has been named a 2022 Automotive News PACEpilot award finalist for its variable cooling technology for blow molding.

ABC Technologies’ variable cooling technology is a cutting-edge innovation that focuses on significantly reducing the production cycle time of large molded articles with minimum capital investment and design changes to existing molding tools and equipment. This technology utilizes a proprietary sequential thermal protocol that applies one or more cycles of variable cooling policies during the “in-mold” section of the cycle time, and thus reducing overall production cycle times. This enables ABC to markedly increase production output for large molded products, within existing production facilities.
This recognition demonstrates ABC’s innovation leadership in automotive plastics manufacturing, with over 300 patents, multiple awards from global OEMs, organizations such as the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) and others.
“It’s an honour for ABC to be recognized as a finalist for the PACEpilot award for our variable cooling technology, an innovation developed in-house that reduces cycle times by 20%, resulting in lower energy consumption, and increased machine capacity while producing identical, high-quality products for our OEM customers,” said Todd Sheppelman, President and CEO of ABC Technologies.
