China is a huge market for extruders in which Leistritz has been active for many years, since 2010 with its own subsidiary Leistritz Machinery (Taicang) Co., Ltd. „The ZSE MAXX twin screw extruders are manufactured in Germany and therefore are too cost-intensive for many projects here,“Anton Fürst reasons the decision for introducing the ZSE CC. „We want to offer an alternative to our Asian customers in order for them tobe able to benefitfrom the machine and processing competence of Leistritz. We provide this with the ZSE CC, which ideally unites German art of engineering and local sourcing.“
