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.
Effective from the 1st of January 2015, Mr. Raul Friedrich, a senior Manager from TROESTER has taken over the responsibility as CEO of X-Compound.
Furthermore, Frank Knittel was appointed Director of Sales and Marketing and Stefan Nägele joined the company as Head of Process Technology and R&D. Both have long-term experience with continuous Kneader compounding systems from previous responsibilities.
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 key supplier of machines and complete plants for the cable, rubber and plastics industry, we offer multiple possibilities for synergies in the field of sales, marketing and manufacturing.
