Powering Tomorrow’s Performance.

Upgrade Instead of Replace — Efficient and Future-Proof.

Modernization That Protects Your Investment

Why Replace when Modernization delivers more?

You protect your investment — and gain performance, safety, and peace of mind.

Even if your production line has delivered reliably for years, technical requirements, regulations, and part availability continue to evolve. Instead of replacing your machine, our lifecycle extension retrofits allow you to modernize it — economically, sustainably, and future-ready.

With Kautex Lifecycle Extension, we upgrade your extrusion blow molding machine to meet today’s standards — technically and legally. From replacing discontinued parts to upgrading control systems, we make sure your system performs reliably for years to come. And the best part: your existing infrastructure stays in place.

Typical reasons to extend your machine’s lifecycle:
Controls or parts are outdated or unavailable
Production reliability needs a boost without buying new equipment
CE compliance must be ensured
Operators benefit from modern interfaces and easier handling
You want to reduce energy and cycle time
