New Development in the area of cleaning products exceeds all
expectations and sets new benchmarks

Rolf Meyer GmbH acquires the exclusive worldwide rights for
the unique new product enpurex®

German experts in physics and chemistry have developed a completely new concept in industrial cleaning products, which they call Intelligent Fluids™.In addition to being highly effective, the patented enpurex® product range is 100% biodegradable and pH neutral. These liquids, which are not only water based but also acid free, remove layers of dirt and color quickly and mildly, without leaving any residues.

A mesh or net-like structure in the liquids enables the necessary flexibility which results in effective physical extrusion and removal of contaminants; dissolving impurities and preventing residual build-up or staining. The surfaces of anilox and rubber rollers, cylinders, parts of the machine and even the machine itself can now be cleaned in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner.

Our ongoing testing by customers in the printing, packaging and tissue industries, has proven that Enpurex is a highly effective and reliable product which is consistently recommended from one company to the next.

The Rolf Meyer GmbH (Bargteheide/Germany), manufacturer of pre-ground doctor blades, high performance knives and replacement parts for the printing and packaging industries, will take over the exclusive distribution, effective on the 01st of January 2012. As a member of the international TKM Group, Rolf Meyer offers its’ customers a worldwide sales and support network, with group internal as well as external distribution and service partners.

“We are enthusiastic about the abilities of the enpurex® product range,” says Thomas Störte, general manager at Rolf Meyer GmbH, “we have again managed to strategically enrich our product portfolio with an innovation, which will be highly beneficial for our customers all over the world.” Also the general manager at bubbles & beyond GmbH is optimistic “we are pleased to found a customer orientated, dynamic and worldwide acting partner which enables us to offer together optimized solutions. The Rolf Meyer GmbH is not also for us but also for the printing industry an ideal partner who is able to offer a wide product range from one source.”

Vocational Training is of Great Importance

"In the TKM group, vocational training is extremely important", says Dirk Lehmkühler, personnel manager. At IKS Klingelnberg in Remscheid about 13 young people per year have been trained as industrial clerks, management assistants in informatics, specialists for administration of inventory and precision mechanics throughout the last years. Furthermore, as from summer 2009 one vocational training position combined with studies will be offered. Recently, all apprentices of the German IKS Klingelnberg sites met in Bargteheide near Hamburg for exchange of information and project work. By product trainings, presentation of various production methods and project work, an understanding of the group-wide IKS Klingelnberg philosophy was to be given especially to the apprentices in their first year of vocational training. IKS Klingelnberg belongs to a medium-sized group of companies which operates on an international scale and is one of the leading manufacturers of machine knives for the paper, metal, wood and plastics processing industry in the world.
