Business Units of Reifenhauser EXTRUSION becoming independent companies

July 03, 2012 - Germany

As of July 1, 2012, the business units of Reifenhäuser EXTRUSION GmbH & Co. KG have been divided into independent companies to enable them to better meet the different requirements of the market.

With the reorganisation, the shareholders consistently continue to focus on a product-oriented approach of the Reifenhäuser group. The activities of the former business unit Extrusion Center were spun off into the Reifenhäuser Extrusion Technology GmbH & Co. KG. The new company of the Reifenhäuser group specialises in the development and manufacture of extruders and WPC lines. It is headed by Dr. Ing. Tim C. Pohl.

The product segments of the business unit Cast Film will remain within Reifenhäuser EXTRUSION GmbH & Co. KG, which was renamed Reifenhäuser Cast Sheet Coating GmbH & Co. KG effective on 01.07.2012. As of now, the company is concentrating on the development and manufacture of cast film lines, polishing stack systems, coating lines, dies, winders, and Reifenhäuser Quality Service. Dr. Ing. Jochen Hennes will continue to conduct business.

Both companies remain located at Troisdorf, the headquarters of the Reifenhäuser group, which now comprises seven subsidiaries in Germany specialising in plastics extrusion technology and extrusion components:
