Germany-based extrusion machinery experts Reifenhäuser Extrusion has recently appointed an additional co-managing director, Dr. Jochen Hennes, who now holds his title alongside Klaus and Bernd Reifenhäuser. Dr. Hennes will now assume responsibility for the cast film extrusion side of the business. A recognized expert in the development of film extrusion lines and components, his focus will be on the continuation and further expansion of technological developments, and, by extension, the strengthening of the company's market position.
Dr. Hennes can draw on more than fourteen years of experience in the plastics processing industry, mostly in the mechanical engineering sector. After completing his doctorate at IKV (Institute of Plastics Processing) in Aachen, he held various leading positions with Kiefel Extrusion GmbH.
The Board of Directors are optimistic about the coming business year with the new management structure at the head of the company. After overcoming the adversity of the financial crisis, the order income at the end of the last fiscal year in July was nearly at pre-crisis levels. With the new addition, Reifenhäuser hopes to build on this growth.
