Effective April 1, 2014, Eberhard Wenger (48), graduate mechanical engineer, took over management of the sales and service business of Reifenhäuser Plastic Machinery Co. Ltd. Mr. Wenger’s main responsibilities in the Reifenhäuser Group’s Chinese subsidiary in Suzhou include sales, project management, technical customer consulting and aftersales service. He will be in charge of the blown film, cast film, thermoforming sheet, nonwovens, WPC, monofilament and strapping tape technologies.
Eberhard Wenger has been working for Reifenhäuser Kiefel Extrusion GmbH (formerly Kiefel Extrusion GmbH, Worms) since 2001 – in his most recent role as Senior Sales Manager. He has expert sales and technical competencies in plastics machinery manufacture.

Reifenhäuser is one of the largest importers of extrusion systems to China. Ralf Pampus, CEO of Reifenhäuser Plastic Machinery says: “We see great potential for further growth in Asia and especially here in China. Within the next few months we expect the import of 18 extrusion lines of the Reifenhäuser Group. With the new position Mr. Wenger is holding now, we strengthen our presence in China to respond to this development. We want to offer our customers an even higher consulting and service quality. In our opinion, closeness to customers, fast response times and high competence on site is absolutely necessary to attain this goal. For that reason, we are pleased about Mr. Wenger’s additional support in dealing with these issues on site.“ The subsidiary in China was founded ten years ago. Already in April 2013, it was significantly strengthened by an expansion of activities and additional staff. Since that time, the more than 20 employees of the company not only take care of the service but also of the sales in China. Meanwhile, considerable increases in line sales in this region can be reported – mainly for PET applications, barrier films, surface protection films, agricultural films and nonwovens.
