Chronicle Part 3 – International Expansion, Technological Milestones & Strategic Shifts

Between 1985 and 2000, Theysohn continued to grow dynamically, driven by bold decisions and cutting-edge innovation.

A major turning point came with the entry into co-rotating twin-screw extruder technology in 1986. The launch of the TSK series and the presentation of the TSK 045 at the K Trade Fair in Düsseldorf marked a key technological milestone. In 1987, Theysohn Holding acquired 100% of American Maplan Corporation (AMC), specializing the Salzgitter plant for the production of counter-rotating twin-screw extruders.

In 1988, Topf Kunststofftechnik became part of the Theysohn Group and relocated to Kirchdorf, Austria. The 1992 acquisition by VGT Industrie AG brought additional momentum, adding PVC window manufacturer Plus Plan (Germany and UK) to the group.

The 1990s were a period of strategic transformation. In 1994, AMC and its bimetallic technology were sold. By 1999, Topf Kunststofftechnik became a 100% subsidiary, and the company founded Vinyl Extrusion Technologies in Fort Worth, Texas.

In 2000, Theysohn exited its injection molding operations in Salzgitter and Langenhagen, as well as its involvement with INOEX – a clear shift toward a focused extrusion technology strategy.
