Good morning! Reifenhäuser introduced two new lines at K 2025, Everex for flat film and Evo Gen3 for blown film. Both lines, along with the Reifenhäuser NEXT smart products, are designed to help processors cope with the lack of skilled workers.
On our Machinery Minutes podcast, we take a look at the recent report from PLASTICS that processors are likely to have to pay more for their workers in 2026, and thermoforming innovations from WM and Gabler.
We have new product features from Mokon and Tecnocanto. Check out the story from our colleagues at IndustryWeek about four sources of disruption manufacturers are facing, and learn how you can manage through the chaos.
