Due to the Corona pandemic, many borders remained closed this year. Machine approval tests were nevertheless successfully carried out at KraussMaffei thanks to the new smartAssist function.
Within the frame of a new investment project, Polyplastic LTD – a Russian plastics producer – and KraussMaffei have recently concluded a contract for the delivery of two ZE 80 x 42D BluePower twin-screw extruders to extend the company's production capacity. Due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, both parties conducted the entire contract negotiations online remotely and signed the contract at the end of October. This contract further strengthens the long-standing, constructive and solution-oriented cooperation between Polyplastic LTD and KraussMaffei.
