Kiefel has announced organisational changes in its packaging activities.
The company says this follows several acquisitions and steep organic growth in recent years.
The changes aim to ensure a strong customer focus in the rigid plastic packaging market and to take advantage of upcoming market opportunities.
Kiefel will group all its packaging activities into one Kiefel Packaging Division, including the activities in Freilassing (Germany), the recently acquired Mould & Matic (Austria) and Bosch-Sprang (the Netherlands).
This new Kiefel Packaging Division will operate with four specialised teams.
The Tray-Team will operate out of Freilassing, Germany, concentrating on the steel-rule technology as base for tray-type products.
In Micheldorf, Austria, the cup team will focus on the tilting-/trim-in-place technology utilised to produce cup-type products and the bottle team, also based in Micheldorf, will specialise on the injection-stretch-blow-technology.
The Kiefel Packaging Division will establish a tech team operating out of Sprang-Capelle, the Netherlands, which will offer services independently of the applied technology.
Erik Hodenpijl, Erwin Wabnig and Jakob v. Wolff will be heading the division as well as Olaf Tanner (CEO) and Manuel Dickinger (CFO) as heads of the activities in Micheldorf.
