Chronicle Part 4 – A New Era of Independence, Innovation & Global Presence

From 2000 to 2025, Theysohn entered a new chapter shaped by strategic ownership changes, international growth, and technological realignment.

In 2003, Rudolf Zahradnik, Siegfried Topf, and Sven Wolf acquired the Austrian companies of the Theysohn Group via an asset deal, marking the beginning of a new independent era. Global expansion followed quickly: in 2004, Theysohn India and Theysohn Russia were founded, and by 2007, a joint venture in China had been launched.

Over the next decade, ownership evolved—from the takeover by High Tech Industries AG in 2008 to the management buyout in 2014 by MUT Holding (Michael Döring, Uwe Langanke, and Torsten Grosser), who led the company into a more focused and agile future.

Production and engineering were restructured: in 2016, assembly was consolidated in Germany, while technology, development, and sales of counter-rotating extruders moved to Stockerau, Austria. In 2017, a new facility was built in Pune, India, boosting local service and manufacturing capabilities.

In 2019, the company underwent a strategic realignment, unifying operations under Theysohn Extrusionstechnik GmbH Germany. And as we look to 2025, we celebrate not only our technological advances—such as TSK-Kaskade and counter-rotating extruders for North America—but also the people behind the brand.

This anniversary is a moment to say thank you — to our employees, partners, and customers. Together, we’ve made Theysohn a forward-thinking company built on tradition, innovation, and heart.
