Business Units of Reifenh?user Extrusion become independent companies

Starting July 1, 2012, the business units of Reifenh?user 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 Reifenh?user group. The activities of the former business unit Extrusion Center were spun off into the Reifenh?user Extrusion Technology GmbH & Co. KG. The new company of the Reifenh?user 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 Reifenh?user Extrusion GmbH & Co. KG, which was renamed Reifenh?user 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 Reifenh?user Quality Service. Dr. Ing. Jochen Hennes will continue to conduct business.

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