Following the acquisition of Rapid Granulator by Lifco, processors will now be able to directly access a unique portfolio of granulators and shredders, as the company joins forces with sister company Eldan, which is also owned by Lifco.

Heading the two companies is Toni Reftman, who has been appointed to the post of CEO and director of both companies. Reftman, who was managing director at Eldan for the past 10 years and was previously in business development at Rapid for 9 years, brings a unique and unrivalled experience to this newly created post. Under his leadership, customers of the two companies will benefit from the broadest choice of solutions to meet their exact specifications.

Sweden-born, Reftman said: “This acquisition is an important step in the history of Rapid Granulator as it will bring together two successful companies that are able to offer a fully complementary portfolio - making us in effect the world’s largest recycling machine company in our field”.
