Reifenhäuser Expands Service Capacity in Middle East and Africa

The Reifenhäuser Group, a global specialist in extrusion technology, has strengthened its service infrastructure in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region. By establishing a new Service Hub, Reifenhäuser aims to improve customer proximity and operational efficiency, underlining its commitment to reliable, responsive support. The hub will offer installation, commissioning, and comprehensive on-site service.

To address the growing demand for local support, the Reifenhäuser Group has expanded its field service operations in the Middle East and Africa (MEA). This strategic move includes a new Service Hub, focusing on improved accessibility, reduced downtime, and prompt assistance. With this addition, Reifenhäuser continues its philosophy of “Close to our customers,” facilitating better insights into local requirements and enhancing customer satisfaction.

The new Service Hub, located in the UAE, is designed to streamline operations by incorporating an on-site service team equipped to deliver a range of field-engineering services. These include:

• Installation of machinery
• System commissioning
• Ongoing service and maintenance support

With the infrastructure and expertise now in place, local companies benefit from faster resolution times and enhanced accessibility to Reifenhäuser’s resources. “Our strong dedication to local markets is now embodied in UAE and Lagos. We promised, and we delivered,” states Bharath Yalla, Managing Director of Reifenhäuser MEA.

The MEA region has shown substantial growth in plastics and extrusion technologies, making it a key focus area for Reifenhäuser. The new hub and expanded operations in Lagos highlight Reifenhäuser’s recognition of this potential and commitment to supporting the region's development. “We are committed to building lasting relationships with our customers, ensuring they receive the guidance and support necessary for effortless equipment start-ups and optimal operational efficiency,” comments Bernd Reifenhäuser, CEO of the Reifenhäuser Group.

The establishment of the MEA Service Hub reflects Reifenhäuser’s proactive approach to customer service. By fostering close connections with clients, Reifenhäuser can address operational needs with tailored, prompt solutions. This initiative underscores the company's position as a reliable partner in extrusion technology for the MEA region.
