Sodick Plustech wins best product award

Japanese injection press maker Sodick Plustech Co. Ltd. won a Japan Brand Award from Tokyo's Business & Technology Daily News. The award recognizes the 10 best products for 2010.

The newspaper picked Sodick and two other companies, out of a total of 70, for the award, given to products that represent unique Japanese technology that leads the worldwide market.

Sodick won for its 650-ton horizontal injection molding machine, model TR650EH2. The press can mold a 40-inch LED monitor with a super-thin-wall back-light guide, a highly precise part.

The two other Japan Brand Award winners include the Toshiba Regza-brand of three-dimensional television and Panasonic's integrated line of 3-D products.

Sodick Plustech's U.S. unit, Plustech Inc., is in Schaumburg, Ill.
