The compounder also has invested in its home market with two twin-screw lines, also from Berstorff, for its facility in Herne. One is a small lab line, the other a standard compounding line; both have been in operation since late summer. The company is active throughout Europe and in 2008 hit revenue of about €119 million. It employs 98 and has compounding capacity of 12,000 tonnes/yr from its current nine lines. —[email protected]
