Reifenhäuser Kiefel Extrusion, the leading manufacturer of blown film extrusion lines, has changed its name to Reifenhäuser Blown Film.
Reifenhauser
Dr. Fritz Dorner - New CEO of Reifenhäuser Blown Film GmbH.
The company joined the Troisdorf/North Rhine-Westphalia-based Reifenhäuser Group in 2009 and the name change underlines its full integration into the organisation.
At the same time, the change in name marks the strategic expansion of the Business Unit Blown Film that enhances its site in Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, while safeguarding jobs and supporting further growth.
Reifenhäuser is investing over €2 million (£1.5 million) in the Worms site to further expand the in-house manufacture of know-how components. New machining centres and a new 3D measuring machine were bought and installed in new buildings.
Bernd Reifenhäuser, CEO of the Reifenhäuser Group, said: "These investments enable us to further optimise the material flow, expand capacities and sustainably ensure the quality for demands in the future.
"The changes not only mean a further step forward for the Worms site, but for the complete Reifenhäuser Group: we are advancing the strengths of the Group in a purposeful way and are networking even more closely to position our products and services on the
global marketplaces in the most targeted manner."
Reifenhäuser Blown Film's CEO is Dr Fritz Dorner who assumed this position from Bernd Reifenhäuser who is concentrating on his role as CEO of Reifenhäuser Group. Plastics Engineer Dorner (51) holds a diploma in business administration and a doctorate at the faculty for mechanical engineering of RWTH Aachen University. In the past, he held various leading positions in the field of international machine construction. With his comprehensive experience he will consistently continue to pursue the course of growth of Reifenhäuser Blown Film. He begins this task with a full order book.
