Kiefel CEO Thomas Halletz said Mould & Matic complements
Kiefel’s range of products for packaging.
“This constitutes, together with the recent acquisition of Bosch
Sprang, an important milestone in our efforts to offer customers
the complete range of systems and services from a single source
— from product development right up to downstream equip-
ment,” Halletz said in a news release.
Haidlmair Group is focusing more in its core business — large in-
jection molds for products such as crates for beverage bottles,
recycling bins and automotive parts.
CEO Mario Haidlmair said Mould & Matic will fit well with its
new owner, a family business like Haidlmair.
Brückner Group, based in Siegsdorf, Germany, is a global maker
of equipment and factory systems for the packaging and pla-
stics industry. Besides Kiefel, its other units make film stretching
machinery and services and other types of packaging machinery.

The development of new tools for pipes is our
profession and passion – for more than 25 years.
German machine manufacturer Windmöller & Hölscher will again present its newest innovations for the production of flexible
packaging at the Chinaplas 2016 (Hall E1, Booth J61) in Shanghai. W&H will provide information about its overall portfolio, which
includes extrusion as well as printing and converting. As highlights this year the company names the modular blown film line AQUA-
REX with water cooling as well as the newly developed AQUACAGE. The AQUACAGE allows an automatic adjustment of the bub-
ble diameter and thus increases the form flexibility of the line. „The demand for new, innovative films is increasing in all areas of
application and industries. Our clients, especially in Asia, appreciate the high quality and the innovative properties of films produ-
ced with water cooling. With the development of the new AQUACAGE we continue to advance the line, always keeping the value
added use for our customers in sight”, explains Michael Fischer, CEO Asia Pacific.
The AQUAREX blows film downward and uses water instead of air to cool the bubble. “The reason for this configuration is the rapid
cooling of the melt”, said Lennart Ederleh, Technical Sales Director Extrusion Equipment. He adds, “The extremely fast cooling keeps
the crystallinity of the film low, maintaining its amorphous molecular structure. The resulting positive film properties are high cla-
rity and gloss as well as good sealability, puncture resistance and favorable thermoforming properties”. The newly introduced AQUA-
CAGE can automatically adjust the bubble diameter for film widths between 750 und 1250 mm, similar to conventional blown film
lines.
