Battenfeld-Cincinnati, a Germany-based maker of extrusion lines for plastics processing and part of US-based Davis-Standard Corporation, has begun a comprehensive modernisation of its Vienna site, marking the start with a ceremonial construction launch on October 21.
The Vienna site employs around 145 people and has been a centre of expertise for counter-rotating twin-screw extruders for PVC pipe, profile and sheet applications since opening in 1978.
Production at Vienna has been realigned since 2025 under a lean transformation, with a new layout, optimised material flows, a modern machining centre and further digitalisation of production and assembly. The company is also modernising the existing administration building.
“We are investing several million euros in the future of our site, sending a clear signal of our commitment to Austria and to our international customers and partners,” said Mr. Siegfried Köhler, Managing Director of Battenfeld-Cincinnati Austria. He said the aim is to combine productivity, modern technologies and attractive working conditions.
The construction launch opens the next phase of the modernisation, which the company said will strengthen Vienna’s position as an international production, development and service location.
