China’s Dalian Shide Plastic Industry has placed a huge order for extrusion machinery with Krauss-Maffei.

The Chinese firm has purchased 264 extruders and 100 profile extruders from the German supplier. The machinery will be shipped in four phases throughout next year, to Dalian Shide’s production sites in Dalian and Shanghai.

The order comprises co-extruders, model KMD 50K conical extruders and model 32D parallel extruders. In 2001, the company acquired 40 profile extruders from Krauss-Maffei.

Dalian Shide, founded in 1992, is undertaking an ambitious expansion in China. Last week (8 October) PRW.com reported it had bought 165 extruders from Cincinnati Extrusion.
