Reifenhauser Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of German extrusion machine manufacturer Reifenhäuser Group, has appointed Matthew Banach as Vice President Sales Cast Sheet Coating (CSC).
Banach has held various leadership positions, including VP of sales at Processing Technologies International (PTi). He also founded Global Process Solutions (GPS), a consultancy in engineering, manufacturing, and technical operations primarily in the packaging industry.
He will be responsible for expansion of Reifenhäuser's North American CSC technologies for flat film and sheet extrusion, including the Value PET lines, which feature a co-rotating twin-screw extruder and a vacuum system for direct extrusion of recycled PCR PET. The FDA/EFSA certified process allows the production of food-safe sheet without the need for an upstream cleaning and drying process.
