Reifenhäuser consolidating blown film machinery business units

July 6, 2021
Growth in the blown film sector pushed the merger, which is expected to bring both under the Reifenhäuser Blown Film joint brand on July 1, 2022.

Extrusion machinery OEM Reifenhäuser Group said growth in the blown film sector has spurred it to merge its Reifenhäuser Blown Film and Reifenhäuser Blown Film Polyrema business units. The move will consolidate both under the joint brand Reifenhäuser Blown Film and is scheduled to be finalized on July 1, 2022. The business unit will be headed by joint managing directors Andreas Neuss and Marcel Perrevort.

Bernd Reifenhäuser, CEO of the Troisdorf, Germany-based company, said: “We have exciting tasks to solve, especially when it comes to the digitalization of blown-film production and the resource-conserving use of plastics in keeping with the concept of a circular economy. Jointly, we can then speed up developments in this direction without the delay of internal barriers — and this will also bring our customers enormous benefits.”
