KAMPF, since 1988 a wholly owned subsidiary of Jagenberg AG, headquartered in Krefeld, Germany, is today extremely suc- cessfully positioned with locations in Germany, subsidiaries in the USA, China and India, service branches and a worldwide network of representatives. The extensive KAMPF portfolio includes slitting and winding machines, winders and special machines for the production and processing of web-shaped plastic films, composite materi- als, refined papers and technical films. KAMPF also offers numerous solutions for processing new materials used in lithi- um-ion batteries. The company's classics include slitter rewind- ers and winders for up to eleven meters working width and production speeds of up to 1,500 meters per minute. KAMPF, as the world's largest manufacturer in this segment, al- ways faces the challenges of the markets and works continu- ously on the further development of its product portfolio. The two KAMPF Technical Centers can be used for tests with cus- tomer material as well as for numerous test series and develop- ments under laboratory conditions. In addition to new machine developments, customers benefit from the KAMPF Lifecycle Service. The experts of this world- wide service network are on duty around the clock and also of- fer numerous services, such as the KAMPF Academy with its comprehensive qualification measures. However, the KAMPF anniversary year is a special year – it could have been so wonderful if the company, and the rest of the world, had not faced the SARS-CoV2 with enormous challeng- es. Although KAMPF had a relatively mild "corona" course and the crisis management has been successful so far, thanks to dif- ferent working time models, a much higher use of digital tech- nology and with the help of KSP (KAMPF Service Portal), the planned celebrations had to be cancelled completely. What can we expect in the future? KAMPF is facing further challenging tasks and is already inten- sively engaged in the topics of modularization, automation and digitalization. With "the@vanced", KAMPF is developing a leading, integrative platform for networking machines and components along the value chain. KAMPF is also co-founder of the Converting 4.0 network, which connects people and for- ward-looking industries. The network now counts more than 80 participating companies and associations. The new technical depart ments "Automation" and "Industry 4.0" are supporting the tra nsformation from a machine manufacturer to a system provide r. 100 ye ars of company history show that, in addition to cour- age, th e competence and enthusiasm of the employees is the central success factor of the machine manufacturer. Therefore, KAMPF focuses on sustainable human resources development and the promotion of young talents. Training and the most modern teaching methods have always been a priority at KAMPF. The company is involved in support and early educa- tion measures through learning partnerships with several schools in order to inspire children and young people for the 28 分切和收卷技术 Extrusion Asia Edition 2/2020
