Honouring the Legacy of Mr. Ulrich Reifenhäuser
Some leaders don’t just guide a company—they touch lives and inspire with trust Ulrich Reifenhäuser,Chairman of Reifenhäuser India, is one such rare individual. As he passes the leadership baton, we pause to reflect on his immense contributions and the personal impact he’s had over the past 40 years.
Mr. Reifenhäuser has shaped the global plastics extrusion industry, building a legacy founded on trust and innovation.He set a global benchmark for excellence and exemplified the belief that people drive success.
As we welcome Marcel Perrevort as our new Chief Sales Officer and Eugen Friedel as Managing Director of Blown Film Line, along with Dr.Andreas Neuss we build upon the solid foundation Mr.Reifenhäuser laid with the same confidence he instilled in us.
What makes Mr. Reifenhäuser’s story truly special is the heart behind his leadership. When he and Manish Mehta founded the Indian subsidiary in 1993, it was more than a business deal—it was an act of belief, born from an idea scribbled on a beer coaster. From that humble beginning, they created a formidable, debt-free organisation that thrives today.
There were challenges along the way, with many doubting the venture in such a dynamic market. Yet, Mr.Reifenhäuser’s faith in us, not just strategies, led us to success. He inspired us to prove the skeptics wrong through strategic hard work, trust and resilience.
His deep human touch was what set him apart. In tough moments, he offered moral support and fostered a sense of family, often over whiskey, wine, and, yes, beer. His leadership focused on lifting everyone, without personal gain.
Though Mr. Ulrich Reifenhäuser steps back from daily operations, his presence remains with us by guiding us as we move forward. Under the leadership of Mr.Perrevort and Mr.Eugen Friedel, supported by our
Board led by Bernd Reifenhäuser and Bernd Kunze, we’re ready to take RIMPL to new heights in India and beyond.
Thank you, “Ulrich”, for believing in us and inspiring us to reach our potential. Your legacy lives on, and we are forever grateful...”We owe you”
