Orientation in terms of customers, processes and staff is one of the most important principles to me in my business actions. It is not without reason that these guidelines are also a central aspect in the future direction of our company. Above all, there is a new name that you will often come across in the world of polyurethane processing: the Hennecke GROUP. The new umbrella brand for our three core brands and the international network of our subsidiaries documents the new identity of our globally active company. This goes hand in hand with a transformation of the international company divisions to a highly effective organizational structure. We are redefining ourselves to be even more efficient for you in the future. In addition, this latest edition of our customer magazine INNOVATIONS is packed full of innovative new products which will be celebrating their premiere at the K show 2019. The centerpiece here is the new mixhead and injector generation which is fit for the range of tasks associated with Industry 4.0. Another focus on our stand at the show is the new SMARTFLEX slabstock machine. This modular system lives up to its name and has many innovative features besides its compact dimensions. As a pioneer of high-pressure technologies, we are particularly proud to present a metering machine that mixes elastomer systems under high pressure and in doing so offers completely new possibilities to processors. But let's return to our new name: I would like to personally introduce myself to you as the new CEO of the Hennecke GROUP. Machine and plant engineering has been a part of my professional life for 30 years now. Yet I was instantly impressed by the Hennecke portfolio and plethora of applications and technologies. As I mentioned at the outset, along with processes and staff, customer orientation is particularly close to my heart and therefore I am already excited about future cooperation and dialogue with you. I hope that I can impress you too with polyurethane processing the Hennecke way.

Thomas Wildt
CEO Hennecke GROUP
