Kranz-Packungen Kuhrmeier Gmbh appoint Mr Neil Winthorpe as General Manager

Posted: 12 February 2004

Kranz-Packungen Kuhrmeier Gmbh recently appointed Mr. Neil Winthorpe as General Manager for its Middle East operations based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Kranz ME.

As General Manager Neil has some twenty years industrial and commercial experience to support his now key role with Kranz ME.

Having held senior positions throughout his career with such blue chip companies as Unilever and Cargill PLC, being latterly in Dubai with Wood Group Engineering Services (ME) LTD he is quoted as saying “Whilst the experience gained here in the Middle East will be of undoubted assistance with regards to cultural, logistical and financial matters, having the support of KRANZ world-wide as an original manufacturer will assist in gaining additional regional market share and diversification”

Owner and overall world-wide Managing Director, Mr. Ernst Kuhrmeier said “I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Neil to the Kranz family and wish him both personally and from all our employees world-wide every success in the future. I am confident that Neil will both expand our current market share within the region and also broaden our overall capabilities”

KRANZ-PACKUNGEN Kuhrmeier GmbH was founded in 1906. Since that time we have been involved with the design and production of piston rod packings for compressor manufacturers and operators at home and abroad. Our high-pressure packing type K was developed and patented in connection with the introduction of high-pressure syntheses, particularly the various ammonia syntheses.

These packings are illustrated in many technical reference books as classic examples for the state-of-the-art at that time. Since then, the quality standard of our packings has received worldwide recognition.

Our type G packing with different sealing element shapes formed the basis for the next stages in development: Solution of the sealing problems in non-lubricated compressors, increased use of our exclusive range of polymer alloys and various special bronze qualities that significantly extend selling life in high pressure compressors up to 3500 bar.

On the basis of these many years of experience and the constant further development of design and the materials used, we are able to offer a solution to your sealing problems for practically all operating conditions.
