Maag has appointed machinery veteran Martin Baumann as vice president and general manager Maag Americas, where he will head up the company’s sales and marketing efforts for the firm's wide line of melt pumps, pelletizers, pulverizers and continuous melt filters. 

“We are very happy to have Martin join our team in the U.S.” says Ueli Thuerig, president of the Maag Group. “Martin brings a wealth of experience with him having worked previously at renowned market leaders in the plastics machinery industry”

Maag Americas offers Maag-branded pump and melt-filtration systems, strand pelletizers under the Automatik Scheer  name, the Gala line of underwater pelletizers, pulverizing systems under the Reduction Engineering brand, and the Ettlinger line of filtration systems for recycling.
