New CEO at Leistritz

Early this month, Hubertus Schulte was promoted to CEO of extruder manufacturer Leistritz Extrusionstechnik GmbH (Nuremberg, Germany), succeeding Günther Rduch, who will remain with the company as a consultant through November 30, 2009.

As reported in last week’s newsletter, Leistritz recently also added a controlled temperature and dew point room to its twin-screw extrusion process laboratory in Somerville, NJ, to develop products for the plastics, medical, and pharmaceutical industries. —[email protected]
