The long-standing U.S. subsidiary Reifen- häuser North America combines deep regional expertise with the technological strength and quality of Reifenhäus- er machinery. Over the past 12 months, the organization has been signi cantly reinforced with the hiring of six new experts across sales, service, and customer care, strength- ening its ability to provide direct, knowledgeable, hands- on support close to customers’ operations. “For producers in the U.S. and Canada, local availability, technical know-how and fast response times are becoming increasingly critical,” said Marcel Perrevort, Chief Sales Of- cer of the Reifenhäuser Group. “By expanding our North American team, we are reinforcing what customers need most: direct access to experienced people who understand their market, their production challenges and their perfor- mance goals.” Beyond its globally recognized extrusion technology, Reif- enhäuser North America is a highly established local partner with 115 employees across the U.S. At its 60,000-square-foot facility located inMaize, Kansas, the company serves the U.S. market with dedicated sales and service teams. In addition, Reifenhäuser North America provides local development and manufacturing for high-quality screws, barrels, valves, and end caps for extrusion and injection molding applica- tions under its sub-brand Reiloy. This robust local presence, established already in 1961, bridges the gap between European engineering and re- gional proximity. Customers based in the U.S. and Canada bene t from fast, reliable and highly responsive local sup - port while maintaining access to the technology, applica- tion know-how and manufacturing quality of the Reifen- häuser Group, which has been family-owned since 1911. The comprehensive portfolio includes the distribution of Reifenhäuser blown lm, cast lm, sheet and coating lines, alongside high-performance components from the Reifenhäuser subsidiaries Reiloy and Kdesign – the global market-leader for blown lm cooling, measurement and calibration technologies. By looking at the entire value chain – from initial consultation and dedicated U.S.-based project management to local eld service and spare parts – Reifenhäuser North America provides a holistic approach that goes far beyond mechanical engineering. To further drive this commitment to the U.S. extrusion market, Reifenhäuser North America has recently wel- comed six new team members who explicitly strengthen the region's service and sales capabilities.
