Since 2011 the compounding plant
manufacturer X-Compound GmbH in
Kaisten, Switzerland, has been a part
of the German Troester Group. After a
four-year transitional period, the original
X-Compound founders and owners have
now stepped down from their positions as
managing directors.
Mr Raul Friedrich, a senior manager from
Troester, has taken over the responsibility
as CEO of X-Compound.
Furthermore, Frank Knittel has been
appointed director of sales and marketing
and Stefan Nägele has joined the company
as head of process technology and
research and development. Both have
many years’ experience with continuous
kneader compounding systems.
X-Compound was founded in 1996 and
manufactures complete solutions in the
field of demanding plastic compounding
systems.
The compounding plants provide
a high level of excellence with
customised, individual solutions, high
quality standards of components,
failsafe handling, and a high degree of
automation.
As a part of the Troester Group, which
is a supplier of machines and complete
plants for the cable, rubber and plastics
industry, X-Compond offers multiple
possibilities for synergies in the field of
sales, marketing and manufacturing.
After a successful participation as a
co-exhibitor at the K 2013 and the wire
Düsseldorf fair last year, X-Compound
will again participate with Troester at
important fairs this year for the cable and
plastic industry.
