Trois­dorf — Effec­tive Janu­ary 17, 2018, the Reifen­häu­ser Group will acquire the EDS Group, an inter­na­tio­nal supplier of high-quality extru­sion dies. The inter­na­tio­nal nozzle specia­list EDS stands for tailor-made products in nozzle manu­fac­tu­ring and is a specia­list for flat nozz­les; Reifen­häu­ser stands inter­na­tio­nally for inno­va­tive tech­no­lo­gies in plas­tics extrusion.

Reifen­häu­ser is thus expan­ding its know-how in the compon­ents busi­ness and posi­tio­ning itself as a leading compon­ents supplier for extru­ders and dies. The acqui­si­tion combi­nes the strengths of both high-perfor­mance brands. EDS and Reifen­häu­ser comple­ment each other perfectly in terms of design and manu­fac­tu­ring know-how. With the acqui­si­tion, custo­mers will bene­fit in the future from shared high-perfor­mance tech­no­logy and manu­fac­tu­ring resour­ces as well as a global sales struc­ture. Over­all, Reifen­häu­ser is massi­vely expan­ding its tech­no­logy leader­ship in the field of nozzle produc­tion with this transaction.

MAYLAND AG was exclu­si­vely manda­ted with the sales process by Mr. Müller, the owner of the EDS Group. The process was successfully comple­ted in Decem­ber 2017 within a period of only four months with the sale to the Reifen­häu­ser Group.
