Successful change-over at BST ProControl GmbH
Successful change-over
for BST ProControl GmbH
in Wenden/Germany: Since
January 2016, a new ma-
nagement team is in charge
of the measurement specia-
list’s business under the
guidance of Managing Di-
rector Dr. rer. pol. Gunter
Tautorus.
BST ProControl GmbH
moves ahead at full speed
with Dipl.-Ing. Kay Kuhl-
mann, responsible for sales
and marketing issues, Dipl.-
Ing. Geritt Block, head of
the technological area and
Markus Babel, certified
electrical engineering tech-
nician and head of service. The dynamic trio is not only linked
through the common challenge, but rather by a successful joint
past under the umbrella brand Protagon Process Technologies
GmbH, which was merged in 2012 with betacontrol GmbH –
resulting in BST ProControl GmbH. Since the new formation in
fall 2012, the team was able to prove repeatedly their expertise
in the field of non-contact measuring and quality control of flat
materials.
Dr. Gunter Taurorus acts since 2014 as the Managing Director of
BST eltromat International and is responsible for the sectors con-
trolling and finances, human resources, IT as well as the super-
vision of subsidiaries. Dr. Gunter Tautorus was in charge of the
eltromat group as executive partner from 1989 to 2014.

COLINES acquires TORNINOVA
GRUPPO COLINES® HOLDING, a company based in Nibbia - San Pietro Mo-
sezzo (Novara), active in the production of lines and machinery for plastics pro-
cessing, has finalized a business branch lease agreement aimed at the
acquisition of the sector of the company TORNINOVA Srl in Bastia Umbra (Pe-
rugia) – represented by Mr Massimo Mencarelli, CEO - dedicated to manufac-
turing, assembling and maintenance of equipment for producing plastics
materials in general and, in particular, air-bubble film.
GRUPPO COLINES® HOLDING, already a key player in the global market with its
subsidiaries COLINES® SpA and ELAV ® Srl, operating with a production range
including eight sectors, thanks to this integration intends to strengthen also its
predominant global sales volume – besides its technological superiority - in the
field of machinery for producing protective air-bubble film. "This operation -
as commented by Eraldo Peccetti, President and CEO of GCH – expresses a per-
fect combination and substantial synergy between the high technology of the
machinery for air-bubble film - and not only - designed and sold by COLINES®
since the early ‘70s and the large number of lines for the same application de-
signed and sold by TORNINOVA since the ‘90s all over the world".
