Reifenhäuser Group, Troisdorf, Germany, has added six staff members to its North American subsidiary in Maize, Kansas, focusing on sales, service and customer care.

Reifenhäuser North America provides local development and manufacturing for screws, barrels, valves and end caps for extrusion and injection molding applications under its sub-brand Reiloy.

It also serves as distributor for Reifenhäuser blown film, cast film, sheet and coating lines, as well as components from Reiloy and from Kdesign, which makes blown film cooling, measurement and calibration technologies.

“For producers in the U.S. and Canada, local availability, technical know-how and fast response times are becoming increasingly critical,” said Marcel Perrevort, Chief Sales Officer of the Reifenhäuser Group. “By expanding our North American team, we are reinforcing what customers need most: direct access to experienced people who understand their market, their production challenges and their performance goals.”

The new employees are Micha Strong, service technician; Caleb Thompson, customer care manager; Joe Murphy and Philipp Sterzenbach, area sales managers; Sebastian Strack, business development manager; and Caden Glover, area sales manager for Kdesign.
