German machinery maker Reifenhäuser Group has acquired a majority stake in air cooling ring specialist Kdesign GmbH.
Located in Königswinter, near Bonn, Kdesign manufactures air cooling rings and measuring systems for blown film extrusion lines.
Reifenhäuser said the acquisition will allow it to expand its in-house expertise in cooling, controlling, measuring and calibrating blown films. Combined, it will give its customers in this segment a âclearer competitive edgeâ, the company added.
