In future, Dr Limper and Mr Meulbroek will take care of
increasing the synergies within the HF MIXING GROUP
more intensively; furthermore they want to advance the
culture integration process. The operative responsibilit-
ies remain within the individual units, whereat Dr Limper
is responsible for the topics of engineering, automation,
purchasing, production and service, and Mr Meulbroek
is in charge of finance and controlling, HR, IT and sales.
By transferring the operative business to the business
units and production sites, the Board of Management
can now face up better to its strategic responsibility. The
general orientation of the HF MIXING GROUP will be
undertaken by the two gentlemen together, whereas the
product strategies are split: Mr Meulbroek will take care
of ‘Continuous Mixing’ and Dr Limper will be in charge of
‘Batch Mixing’.
The new business unit ‘Systems and Automation’ – being
led by Maik Rinker – supports the other business unit.
Besides the technical further development of system
components, quotations for systems are prepared.
Thereby it is ensured that all technical innovations are
always included.
Each business unit or each production site has one or
two responsible persons for its leading and external
representation. Within the business unit ‘Intermeshing
Mixers’ a change has taken place: its new director is Dr
Keuter.
‘Continuous Mixing’ is an own business unit and due to
its specialisation on the plastics industry, it will continue
acting as part of the HF MIXING GROUP, but is renamed
‘FARREL POMINI’. At present, this business unit is led
jointly by Steve Peterson and Paul Lloyd. As of the
middle/end of 2013, Paul Lloyd will undertake sole re-
sponsibility for this business unit.
Furthermore, we purchased the Slovakian company ZTS-
LR NaJUS at the end of 2012, which has been renamed
‘HF NaJUS’ and will act as our new Eastern European
production site. When purchasing the company, it was of
great importance to us to gain a functioning structure
with good personnel – whereby at the same time being
able to grant the best prices to our customers. With this
new location we follow our global added-value strategy,
because each business unit can access the production
facilities of HF NaJUS as well as use their existing know-
how. The company will be led by the previous director
Mr Hajdik and Mr Krull in a dual leadership.
