German plastics processor Etimex Technical Components (Rottenacker; www.etimex.global) said it plans to focus on injection and blow moulding in future.
As part of a “strategic reorientation”, the company also announced the divestment of its elastomer unit with a domestic plant in Waltershausen, which has been acquired by Erenli Kauçuk (Kemalpaşa, Turkey; www.erenli.com.tr). The company did not disclose financial details.
The Turkish elastomer specialist took ownership of the Waltershausen plant, which now operates as Erenli, at the start of December 2024. Etimex said all employees were retained. Erenli Kauçuk has two further facilities – a domestic one in İzmir and another in Serbia.

Etimex said the aim is to use the proceeds of the sale to expand its injection and blow moulding capacities, in particular for the white goods, automotive, medical technology as well as plumbing and heating sectors.
The company has a technology centre and manufacturing plant at its headquarters site in Rottenacker. It also operates a production facility in Hranice in the Czech Republic.
