China built Coperion compounding line delivered to Hexpol

The decision in favour of a Coperion compounding system is explained by Carsten Rüter, President Technology, Hexpol Compounding, as follows: “We were most impressed both by the thoroughness with which Coperion’s experts dealt with our production requirements and by the exactness with which they accommodated our wishes and needs.

“Within an extraordinarily short period of time we received a high-performance production line in which the conveying and compounding systems came from one and the same manufacturer. We are using the modular plant for the production of high-quality TPE compounds that satisfy all requirements, both our own and those of our customers. These products are also internationally competitive and therefore enable us to expand our presence in China to a decisive extent.”

Andreas Müssle, Managing Directior of Coperion Machinery & Systems (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., describes the importance of the modular assembly facility for the local market: “In the 4th quarter of 2011 we decided to build upon our existing expertise in sales and engineering and make a strategic investment in the local assembly of our modular systems. This was a clear commitment to the importance of the Far Eastern market and very quickly proved to be right.

“We received our first order for a modular compounding line from Hexpol already in January 2012. Meanwhile, we have received more orders and are confident that things will go as smooth and successful as experienced with the modular system for Hexpol. There is an enormous and widespread interest in modularized compounding systems, so we are sure that our new assembly facility will be fully loaded soon.”
