Extrusion International 6-2016

31 Extrusion International 6/2016 during the fair, including for guided plant tours. “Our customers want the newest line technology for an efficient pro- duction, but more and more, they also take a broader view,” says Ul- rich Reifenhäuser. The customers must be prepared for the future. This is essential and the reason why we decided for a novelty on our fair stand: the “Rethink Tank“. A kind of innovation corner, where Reif- enhäuser presents innovations that are still in the pipeline. The idea behind: Reifenhäuser enters into more detailed discussion, wants to find out what is moving its custom- ers and whether the company’s de- velopments are really in tune with the times. “For thiswe takeour time and give room”, explains Ulrich Rei- fenhäuser. At the Rethink Tank the Extrusioneers invite to talk sessions in order to look at new technology ideas from different perspectives – to lead the way for New Standards in the future.
