Effective January 1, 2015, Reifenhäuser Kiefel Extrusion, the leading manufacturer of blown film extrusion lines has changed its name to Reifenhäuser Blown Film. Since 2009, the company belongs to the Troisdorf/North Rhine-Westphalia-based Reifenhäuser Group that underlines again the full integration of the company acquired in 2009 in the group by changing its name. At the same time, the change in name marks the strategic expansion of the Business Unit Blown Film that clearly enhances the Worms site, safeguards jobs and supports further growth.

Reifenhäuser is investing over two million euro in the Worms site to further expand the in-house manufacture of know-how components. New machining centers and a new 3D measuring machine were bought and installed in new buildings. “These investments enable us to further optimize the material flow, expand capacities, and sustainably ensure the quality for demands in the future”, says Bernd Reifenhäuser, CEO of the Reifenhäuser Group. “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”.
