The new Reifenhäuser Kiefel Extrusion GmbH pools its fast-growing blown film business
Reifenhäuser GmbH & Co. KG Maschinenfabrik, and Brückner Technology Holding GmbH announced that retroactively as of January 1, 2009 all their equity interests in Kiefel extrusion GmbH engaged in the blown film extrusion lines business, will be sold by Brückner to Reifenhäuser. With the takeover, Reifenhäuser has substantially strengthened its own commitment to this market segment.
Worms will be the headquarters of the new business unit Reifenhäuser Kiefel Extrusion. "With the takeover, we are creating the best prerequisites to consolidate and further develop our leading position in the global market for extrusion lines", says Ulrich Reifenhäuser (53), managing director of the traditional family enterprise.
"Through the joining of our technical competencies at the Troisdorf and Worms sites, we have created the world's largest development and know-how pool in this sector and moved to the top of our market", explains Bernd Reifenhäuser (43), managing director of the parent company, Reifenhäuser GmbH & Co KG Maschinenfabrik.
With its now completed divestment, Brückner is concentrating its Kiefel corporate division on Kiefel GmbH's thermoforming and welding machines. "In this field of technology with its product areas packaging, medical and automobile technology we see major growth potentials; we are going to increasingly tap into these in the context of our corporate strategy", explains Peter Wellenhofer, chairman of the management board of Brückner Technology Holding GmbH.
