Xaloy, manufacturer of plasticizing components for injection and extrusion machinery for the global plastic processing industry, announced that MEP technische Handels GmbH has taken over the representation in Austria for “Xaloy” core components and will provide sales, technical support, and rework services for Xaloy screws, barrels and front-end components.
“MEP draws on over 15 years of industry expertise to support our customers in reaching their manufacturing goals and help them maximize quality, productivity, efficiency and profitability,” said Ralf Hilbert, managing director of Xaloy Europe GmbH.

After a basic commercial training and a master's degree at a technical college in upper Austria, Putschögl gained eight years of practical experience as a technical sales manager at an Austrian company. In this role, he supported companies in the production, processing and reprocessing of plastics before starting his own company, the MEP technische Handels GmbH, earlier this year. He currently serves as MEP’s managing director.
