Two important anniversaries were celebrated in June: SONOTRONIC GmbH, a leader in the field of ultrasonic machine construction, was able to look back on a proud 50 years. At the same time, KSL, a specialist in highly automated sewing and welding robot solutions, celebrated its 60th anniversary. In honor of these milestones, the “SONIC'DAYS” took place in mid-June at SONOTRONIC's headquarters in Karlsbad-Ittersbach.

The ultrasonic special machine manufacturer SONOTRONIC from Karlsbad has a new owner. After a nine-month period of insolvency and restructuring, the company is now part of the Dürkopp Adler Group (DA Group), which in turn is part of the internationally active Shang Gong Group (SGG). Dr. Frank Meyer takes over the position of Managing Director. The acquisition of the ultrasound expert opens up new opportunities for SGG to expand its portfolio and strengthen its position in the global market. Customers can benefit from the proven products and services of the future SONOTRONIC GmbH.

Dürkopp Adler Group has announced the acquisition of SONOTRONIC Nagel GmbH, a leading company in automated ultrasonic welding technology. The purchase agreement was signed on April 28th, 2023, with the transfer of the company set to take place on July 1st, 2023.

Joining technology is of particular importance for plastics processing. For joining injection molded parts and extruded plastic parts, we use ultrasonic, hot plate or hot air technology, depending on the application. We receive tasks from all areas of the plastics processing industries.

At this year's trade fairs, K in Düsseldorf, FACHPACK in Nuremberg and IZB in Wolfsburg, we attracted the interest of many visitors as a full-range supplier of ultrasonic technology.

SONOTRONIC Nagel GmbH was awarded the silver medal in recognition of its EcoVadis rating.

„Invest In Our Planet“ - at www.greensonics.de, the company presents its sustainability targets and action plans for avoiding and reducing CO2 emissions - an important step in holistic climate protection.

In October 2021, the time had finally come again and companies from the industrial plastics processing sector came together at Fakuma to provide insights into their latest developments.

The first major trade fair in presence for a long time was a success! SONOTRONIC presented environmentally friendly packaging live in Nuremberg with a horizontal packaging machine from Tecno Pack. Legislators and consumers demand sustainability. Therefore, machine manufacturers, like our co-exhibitor this year Tecno Pack, have to face the challenge of processing recyclable materials. Particular focus is being placed on mono-material packaging to replace the previous composites.

With its new sales partner TUSONICS Türkiye Ultrasonics, the ultrasonic special machine builder SONOTRONIC is establishing a market and customer-oriented service and sales organization at the automotive location in Bursa, Turkey. The city of Bursa, located 150 kilometers south of Istanbul, is one of the most important supplier and production locations in European car manufacturing.
