Coperion has announced it will streamline its North America operations in an effort to improve operational efficiency.
As outlined in a press release sent by the supplier of extrusion, compounding and recycling systems, Coperion’s North American operations in Salina, Kansas, will soon be relocated to existing facilities in Whitewater, Wisconsin; Sabetha, Kansas; and Kansas City, Missouri, which manufacture similar products and have the capacity to handle larger volumes.
