SPIF represents the interests of over 140 plastics manufacturers and suppliers.

IQMS uniquely combines ERP software and manufacturing execution system (MES) software functionality to give organisations a comprehensive end-to-end suite for running their manufacturing and business operations.

Based on decades of specialist knowledge and thousands of plastics manufacturers across the world, IQMS helps businesses meet the challenges of fluctuating raw material costs; multi and family tooling needs; regrind and consumption tracking and management, and shelf life management to achieve greater profitability.

Blow moulding, compounding, extrusion / co-extrusion, injection and thermoforming manufacturers all benefit from powerful functionality to ensure on-time-delivery with increased accuracy, improved quality and at a lower cost.

Proximity is a certified IQMS reseller and provides IQMS implementation services across Europe, including the Nordics, UK and Ireland.

SPIF will help Proximity and IQMS reach more small and medium-sized plastics manufacturers in Sweden, but also support our existing customers in the country.”
