Xaloy launches AI-driven plastic processing tools

At the beginning of this year, Xaloy officially launched Xalence, an intelligent digital assistant. Leveraging artificial intelligence technology, this product provides real-time professional guidance to processing enterprises, helping them make smarter decisions throughout the entire polymer processing workflow.

According to Xaloy, the Xalence platform integrates the company's entire expertise in materials, applications, and components, creating a one-stop, user-friendly platform. The platform helps users select the best solutions, troubleshoot process issues, and quickly respond to technical inquiries, bringing new levels of efficiency and precision to polymer processing.

Acquisition in the twin-screw technology field

In September 2025, Xaloy completed the acquisition of Canadian company Ultimate Twin Screws (UTS). According to PlasticsToday at the time, the transaction achieved synergies: Xaloy had a well-established business in single screws and twin barrels, while UTS specialized in the design and production of twin screws, creating a complementary relationship.
