Reifenhäuser Group CSO Ulrich Reifenhäuser received the Georg Menges Prize 2022 at the 31st International Colloquium on Plastics Technology in Aachen, Germany. The prize recognizes individuals or groups who have rendered outstanding services to the transfer of research results to industrial practice.
Christian Hopmann, director of the Institute for Plastics Processing (IKV), and Herbert Müller, chairman of the board of the IKV Sponsors’ Association, presented the award.
“The Georg Menges Prize is awarded for the consistent implementation of research and innovation in industry,” Hopmann said. “The previously described achievements of our prizewinner would certainly have been enough to receive the award but, for the sponsors of the prize, what was especially important and the key argument for their decision was Ulrich Reifenhäuser’s honorary dedication to the K trade fair.” Reifenhäuser will co-chair K 2022 – for the seventh time in a row serving as “president of K show.”
