As of 18 February 2019, Reifenhauser Group acquires Plamex Maschinenbau GmbH, Kelberg.

Plamex is a specialized supplier of blown film lines and extrusion components. Its core competences are blown film lines for water-cooled and biaxially oriented films for the medical and food packaging industry.

The company will continue its operations under the name Reifenhauser Blown Film Plamex GmbH & Co. KG. Managing directors are Maximilian Herchenbach and Manfred Kurscheid. Jochen Herchenbach retires from the management, but keeps available for consultation.

The acquisition expands the Reifenhauser Groups’ product range to include an innovative technology for flexible film production. "The extremely efficient water cooling keeps the polymer in amorphous state and produces a particularly glossy and transparent film with remarkable puncture resistance and very good barrier properties. In our discussions with customers we can now provide even more differentiated advice and deliver the optimum solution for the particular application," says Bernd Reifenhauser, CEO of the Reifenhauser Group.
