About Reifenhäuser
Reifenhäuser is a mechanical engineering company based in Troisdorf that manufactures extrusion lines and components for plastics processing. The portfolio includes blown film lines (including EVO GEN3, EVO Fusion, EVO Agriculture), flat film lines of the EVEREX series (cast film, sheet and extrusion coating lines) and nonwoven lines of the Reicofil brand (RF5 spunbond, RF Meltblown, RF5 Composite). Components such as extruders, screws, barrels, coextrusion adapters, slot dies, spinnerets and meltblown dies are also manufactured. Plastics processed include PE, PP, PET, PLA, PS, EVOH, PVOH, CPP, CPE and BOPP, including recyclate and biodegradable materials; EVO Fusion processes 100% recycled material directly without pelletizing. The lines are used, among other things, for the production of packaging films, agricultural films up to 24 m circumference, thermoforming films for automotive and meltblown filter nonwovens with titers below 1 µm. Customers come from hygiene, medical, packaging industry, consumer goods, industrial/technology, agriculture, filtration and recycling. The Troisdorf site features a technical center with up to ten lines for research and development; the Heinsberg site manufactures meltblown components. More than 1,500 employees serve customers worldwide.
