In 1945, Kiefel GmbH started designing and manufacturing machinery and tools for the plastics processing industry. Shortly after, Kiefel designed the first thermoforming machines including the Speedformer KMD and KTR and the Blowliner for injection stretch blow molding. In 2009, Reifenhauser acquired Kiefel Extrusion and now forms the joint company Reifenshauser Kiefel Extrusion—largely referred to simply as Kiefel.
Kiefel Blown-Film Extruders
Today, Kiefel is known worldwide for their blown-film extrusion lines and extruders designed to make flexible plastic film. Their advanced machines are utilized to create products in highly competitive industries like food packaging, as well as life-critical solutions for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
